The adolescent princess Flurry Heart is looking for a job. The good news is that the School of Friendship is looking for an assistant to help Trixie. The bad news is, all candidates need to take a lie detector test, with Trixie as the recruiter...
Flurry Heart has requested a very unusual bedtime story. Shining Armor senses something is up, but he also knows that children occasionally come across feelings they don't have words for yet. Books can supply those words.
