Mandy, the spirited goat‑girl of Mt. Mern, spends her days herding a mischievous flock across craggy peaks. When her favorite goat, What‑a‑Butter, darts upward into a storm, a sudden burst of water lifts Mandy away from the mountain in a dazzling column of spray. The unexpected flight propels her into an unfamiliar realm where the ordinary quickly turns magical.
There she encounters Nox, a regal ox from the distant kingdom of Keretaria, and together they set out to locate the missing little King Kerry. Their quest weaves through enchanted valleys, strange creatures, and hidden passages, each step revealing more of the vivid world that lies beyond the mountain. By the time they reach the Emerald City, they find themselves honored guests of Ozma herself, hinting at further wonders yet to unfold.
