A deer in the road, a big tree, and death knock Chloe’s life off the school-work-study to build for a good future she has lived for to this point.

Blast and balderdash! It’s time to travel to the Jones’s attic with wee Charlie Snarly—a grumpy hair tangle—in his quest for lasting friendships and a more peaceful home. Brushed out of his home in Jessica Jones’s hair, where for months he has practiced the knotty art of macramé, he meets some unusual characters and has some hair-raising adventures in the Jones’s bathroom vanity drawer. Escaping the drawer, and joined by a dustball named Pflug (silent “P”), and C.C., a businesslike house spider, Charlie Snarly and his two new friends head for the Jones’s attic where Charlie hopes to find a peaceful wig home. But, getting to the Jones’s attic is not easy, even for the clever tangle. On the way, Charlie Snarly must deal with Jessica’s mother, Jonesy; avoid little sister Lucy and the dreaded vacuum; steer clear of the Jones’s cat, Muppet; fend off a gangster Brown Recluse Spider and a windup-toy bath frog; and battle an ant army. On this perilous journey, Charlie learns some important life lessons and makes some fast friends.
