Years ago, after a magical encounter with the once-charming Strawn, Mildred’s mother moved back to New Zealand. Now, a comical mishap leaves Strawn caring for Mildred while her mother is hospitalized. Their first adventure? Camping to hunt the mythological Canterbury panther. As this mismatched duo navigates wilderness, magic tricks, and an extraordinary quest, hilarity ensues—and they just may find a way to put their family back together.
