Emily has a fever. Emily's mom goes to the drugstore and vanishes on the way. Brother Billy is arrested, tossed in jail and disappears. And Emily's dad - he's camping, he's in jail, he's in the hospital, he's in a daze. He's no help. What's a girl to do? Strange things are happening throughout the town. Big Broom trucks prowl the streets. Kids cry for Tiny Toy dogs. Shops go bankrupt. But not the Bug Bakery where people stand in line to get a muffin. Eggman's plan is working great. But he hadn't counted on an adversary from the past, Blitzen, a little wooden man from Ireland, making himself at home in Emily's house. Blitzen could ruin Eggman's plan Eggman's going to have to get rid of Blitzen for his brilliant plan to succeed. Emily calls the little wooden man 'Uncle Blitzen' and will do anything to protect him. If Eggman's going to be rid of Blitzen he'll have to deal with Emily first.
