Meanwhile, the normally gentle forest spirits seem aligned against him. New faces and sudden departures change the dynamics of the Blue Patrol. But it's the mystery of the long-lost Yellow Patrol that sends Arlo across the Lake of the Moon and into a thrilling new adventure. Once he uncovers the secret history Uncle Wade has been protecting, nothing will ever be the same.
