Lila and Theo follow the Ringlark to Merryleaf Market, a colorful place filled with bright banners, cheerful vendors, bottled laughter, and smiles everywhere they look.

When they meet Nell, a young vendor selling “cheer bundles,” Lila and Theo discover that the Muddlewind has found a new way to trouble Bellweather Valley—by convincing people that looking joyful matters more than kindness, honesty, or love.
