BECAUSE THE WIND HAD TAKEN them up and down so much, they weren’t that far from Carly’s house. Walking back through the woods, Carly was glad she always wore her whistle roots now—in case they saw any owls, or even worse, the griddlebeast.

Aside from those dangers, she was also looking for anything that could be the Crank of Crassifolia. If it existed and she turned it, could the rats be saved? Would Green’s grandmother wake up? And what about Carly? She hadn’t forgotten the last message in the red hat. If she was the Moon Child, whatever that meant, would the Crank protect her? What danger was she in exactly?

She had asked Green if he thought the woods had once been the Kingdom of Endroot.

“Maybe,” he’d said. “But it seems odd that a whole kingdom could have been forgotten.”

Carly tried turning a few small, crooked trees, but nothing happened. When Lewis asked her what she was doing, she quickly thought of an answer.

“Checking for shimmer trees,” she said.

She couldn’t tell him the truth. He would be against turning the Crank just as Breeza Meezy had been. And for the same reason—he wouldn’t want the owls to suffer the same fate as the five kings in the Endroot.

But what if turning the Crank was the only way to stop the griddlebeast too?

Carly knew the griddlebeast had whispered Green’s grandmother into her endless sleep. And she suspected it was also behind the owl attacks and the rising creek.

Was that also done with whispers?
