Now that she’s gotten her happily ever after helping out in her family’s café, Evie has one last wish―to keep Fudge, the adorable stray puppy she found. Fudge is extra cute... and extra wiggly… and may have made a mess of the house.
But Evie has a plan. Nothing says family and bonding like camping in the great outdoors. And with her friends coming too, Operation Love Fudge will be a piece of cake―or a delicious gooey s’more!
Maybe, she’ll bring the magical storybook just in case.
