Paths to Friendship

A curious trail leads beyond the garden—and toward someone the family has not met before.

Brando and Gonzo follow a trail of clues beyond the familiar paths of the Story Tree World. Raven stays close as each pawprint carries them farther into the woods. What waits ahead may be unexpected, but it could give all of them one more way to find home.
