Do you believe in magic? Ionie and her friends do! And when they meet the Star Animals, a whole world of adventure unfolds. Westcombe is hosting a scarecrow competition and the Star Friends are all excited to be taking part. But then almost everybody in the village suddenly becomes extremely sleepy, refusing to leave their homes or even get out of bed. The girls and their Star Animals know that it must be down to dark magic, but how can they help to stop it when they're being affected too? Perfect for fans of MY SECRET UNICORN and THE RESCUE PRINCESSES, and for RAINBOW MAGIC readers looking to move on to a more challenging adventure.
