Addy is on a quest to find the perfect gifts from each of the magical worlds she’s visited for her sister’s birthday. After finding that perfect “something special” from Aquarius, Critterna and Pristina, she decides to visit Lazuli and meet Cerulia for the first time. But, the land of Lazuli is in serious trouble! Cerulia and her family have only one source of food, and that source is dying. Without it, the entire population of Lazuli is in danger of extinction. Addy must join Cerulia as they go in search of a legendary land where they can only hope to find a solution. And, in order to succeed, Addy and her new friends are forced to confront some of their greatest fears.

Addy and Star have a history. The first time Addy tried to visit Star using her magic opal necklace and her enchanted doll collection, Star sent her away. This time, Addy overcomes her fear of rejection and returns to Empyria. Her journey to the other worlds has led her to the conclusion that someone or something has been controlling everyone involved. When she and Star encounter a pathway to yet another place out of time, everything begins to make sense. Addy has the keys to solve the greatest mystery of her life... and finally, she has the courage to do it.

Addy’s grandfather has had a life-threatening heart attack. Worried, but unable to do anything to help, Addy visits Pixel for the first time. Her new friend’s home, Minioscor, looks much like any other small town, but something seems a little … off. For more than a century, the magic has kept the dolls from aging, but how is Pixel’s father still alive, seemingly unchanged from the time Pixel was a little girl? Why do some of the townsfolk seem so irritated? Why are the schools abandoned? When Addy discovers the answers to these questions, she is forced to change her perspective about the little town and her own grandpa. Helping the people of Minioscor seems impossible. Undaunted, Addy and Pixel work to set things right, but if they succeed what will happen to Pixel’s father and the other inhabitants of Minioscor? Join Addy on her latest adventure to find out!
