Elaine is just an average young woman. If you ignore the wealth she inherited when her family died in an accident and the greenhouse holding a talkative yellow (read: golden) flamingo with a flair for drama and theatrics. She's living a completely normal life. Clearly.

Until the stormy night a talking aye-aye in a bomber jacket breaks into her house and drags her along into a world of spies and evil scientists attempting to take over the world. And her best friend is in danger.

All That Glitters is a novella full of glorious nonsense and amusement as Elaine tries to deal with a world in which animals talk, her best friend has been kidnapped and life isn't what she always believed it to be.
