Chapter 1

Grampa was right! Caramel rolls do do the trick.

Oh, hey, I’m Gordy. You maybe remember me…if you read the first book Wild Friends of Wilderness Way.

Grampa, Gail and I went on a super cool trip into another world. It’s almost impossible to believe. If I hadn’t been there myself, I wouldn’t believe it.
