Beth envies Molly's fearless nature, but when a sleepover in the country takes a wrong turn, it's Beth who must lead them back to safety. Can she find the courage within herself? As the girls navigate the unknown, Beth discovers bravery she never knew she had. Will she rise to the challenge and prove to herself that she can be just as bold as Molly? This engaging tale of friendship and self-discovery invites young readers to explore their own hidden strengths.
