Mira followed a trail of tiny footprints that glowed faint as moonlight. The prints led her down into a bowl of moss where a silver stream sang of somewhere else.

Mira’s blue heart beat faster as she gathered a small pack: a slingshot for courage, a jar of dandelion jam, and a folded scrap of parchment she’d found in Papa Smurf’s study (scribbled with a symbol that looked like a tiny mushroom and a star).

They were the Lumin: guardians of the Lost Grove, they said, and they had been keeping a secret. Mira followed a trail of tiny footprints that
