Isla’s grandparents, the reigning pastry champions, are once again participating in the annual Sol Bake-Off! Isla can’t wait to help, but when sets off in search of the freshest ingredients Sol has to offer, she notices the bushes have no berries, no coconuts hang from the palm trees, and even the creatures of Sol have gone silent. That’s when she uncovers a festival the creatures of Sol host for themselves: The Critter Café!
