It’s a beautiful snow-sparkling day and Poppy, Honey and Saffron are off to Wildspice Woods to collect twigs and berries to decorate the Hedgerows Hotel for the Winter Ball. When they enter the woods, everything looks and smells magical and the girls are enchanted. But as they walk deeper and deeper into the trees it becomes darker and darker and they can hear a strange noise that sounds like a baby crying. Poppy, Honey and Saffron follow the whimpering sound until there, in the densest part of the wood, they find an injured baby deer curled up all on its own beneath a snowy fir tree. They can’t just leave him there — what are they going to do?
