But when a stranger makes an unusual order at the bakery, the two friends [and Hadley's pet snake, Fern,] set out to forage the magical mushrooms needed to make the requested pastries. Along the way, Juniper and Hadley stumble across a mystery too compelling to ignore: Something has been coming out of the woods at night and eating the local farmers' crops, leaving only a trail of glowy goo behind.
