Bookroo's summary

When the King and Queen vanish into the Wicked Wood with Lorenzo the dragon, Minna's friends follow, only to disappear too. Determined, Minna ventures into the woods, discovering everyone indulging in the gingerbread house of a witch. With nightfall approaching, she must find a way to get everyone home, but Lorenzo's gingerbread feast leaves him too heavy to fly. Can Minna solve this sticky situation before it's too late?

From the publisher

A suspenseful and slightly spooky story, the third in a full-color, humorous series perfect for readers just moving up from picture books. The King and Queen have DISAPPEARED! The townsfolk saw them go into the Wicked Wood with Lorenzo the dragon and they haven’t come back. One by one, Minna’s friends set off to find them. But they don’t come back either! So Minna takes a deep breath and heads into woods, where she finds everyone eating the gingerbread walls of the Wicked Witch’s house! Quick–she must get everyone home before nightfall! But how can they fly home when Lorenzo has eaten so much gingerbread that he can’t get off the ground?
