Our favorite mapping boar is back in her fourth adventure! Fall is Camilla the Cartographer's favorite time of year. Dried leaves swirling on the breeze make the air smell like her most treasured old maps. Less daylight means more cozy time to curl up in bed with a book. And most of all, she loves the annual Fall Festival. Hazelnut bread, chestnut pudding, leaf art, pinecone patterns . . . she can't wait to celebrate all her favorite traditions, just like every year. Camilla, Parsley the porcupine, and all their forest friends work hard getting everything ready . . . only for a wind storm to destroy everything the night before the festival is supposed to start. Decorations are scattered throughout the forest and clear across the meadow! Does this mean the festival is ruined? Or can teamwork--and Camilla's mapping skills--save the day? The festival might not look exactly the way it always has . . . but maybe change can be a good thing. And maybe they can discover some new traditions along the way.
