About This Book

I have a secret to share: there's a mushroom struggling with big questions, a not-so-mean witch with surprising reasons, and two puppy brothers—one rich, one poor—who change everything. These aren't your usual fairy tales; they're magical stories about friendship, kindness, and loyalty, but that's only the beginning.
