Something is eating the best berries in Sandalwood Village... and maybe a left foot or two?

Up on Temptation Rock grows the juiciest, plumpest, most delicious berry bush anyone has ever seen. There's just one problem: something lives up there. Something big. Something shadowy. Something the whole Gang of Dandelion Street is sure is a foot-eating monster.

But the truth about monsters is that almost nobody ever asks them a single question.

Because the something on Temptation Rock has a name. He has a strap-on turtle shell, a gentle heart, and a berry bush he's been tending all along - hoping, just hoping, that somebody might climb up and share it with him.

A warm, funny Mudpies Universe story about rumors and the monsters they invent, the courage it takes to say hello first, and how the scariest thing in the village might just be the loneliest. Sometimes the best friends are the ones everyone was afraid to meet.

Every Mudpies story is built around one promise: help, not hurt.
