Mika Moon is one of the few witches in Britain. Accustomed to the strict rules of magical isolation, she posts lighthearted "pretend" witchcraft videos online. When an invitation arrives begging her to come to Nowhere House to tutor three unruly young witches, Mika finds herself wrapped in the embrace of a delightfully chaotic found family.

It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered into the wilderness, never to be seen again. One day, the life of a traveling tea monk named Dex is upended by the arrival of a wild robot who has come to ask a single question: "What do people need?"

When the rat pirate Gabool the Wild attacks the mouse-ship carrying Joseph the Bellmaker, he plunders its magnificent bell in a fit of greed, and then pitilessly casts Joseph and his daughter Mariel into the raging sea. After she is rescued and brought to Redwall Abbey, Mariel sets out with three fearless Mossflower companions (and her trusty rope-weapon, the Gullwhacker) to track down Gabool and avenge her father-and thus begins an unforgettable battle!
