Overview

Eight-year-old Abigail is conflicted about whether to continue public school or go to music school. While she loves singing, playing ukulele, and writing songs, she isn’t sure she is ready to make such a big change. If she chooses music school, will she make new friends? Will she be good enough? Before she can decide, she wakes to find that her favorite stuffed animal has come to life and needs to go on a quest to find his lost friends who are tied to the magic of children’s imaginations. If they don’t find the others and return them to their living state, the fate of the world’s sparkle and creativity will be undone. Can they do it in time?

Ride along with Abigail as she searches for both the missing animals and who she wants to be. Features pen-and-ink illustrations with watercolor. Includes 10 bonus pages of fun activities!
