Unfortunately, he sleeps through the moment when Iris’ family gets off the train.
No one notices him, in part because he falls asleep on the journey and therefore is quiet. Iris is saddened, and her sadness spurs the lion into action: After she and her family leave home, he follows and hides in the overhead luggage rack on the train. But even though “all the townspeople loved him,” Iris’ mother says the big cat can’t accompany them to Auntie Sarah’s house for Christmas because others on the train and in the town they’re visiting would be frightened. There’s little backstory to explain to readers unfamiliar with How To Hide a Lion (2013) how the lion came to live with Iris and her family.
There’s no hiding Iris’ love for her pet lion.
