Summary
In Tiddlewick-on-the-Turnip, a sleepy wizard named Merlin Muddlewick and his bold, magical sheep Percival race to compete in the Grand Magic Sheepherding Contest—only to oversleep disastrously.
Desperate to make it in time, they take a dangerous shortcut through enchanted forests, mischievous bogs, and a smoky Shadow Hound, where Merlin’s nerves make his magic wildly unpredictable.
At the final obstacle, just when all seems lost, Percival reveals there’s far more to him than anyone ever suspected.
