Guardians of the magical world of the Sister Trees and all the creatures living at the bottom of the garden, the Underfoot community is diverse. Velvet Worms, Rolypolys and the Fungus Nation maintain a tenuous balance to maintain their home’s food supply and protection.

Oke, the Velvet Worm, is a rebellious adventurer. They would far rather be off with their mates Leafy and Rolypoly exploring the outer reaches of the garden basin than doing chores, that’s if they can drag Wiggle away from their bed!. But that all changes when Oke and Leafy encounter something shocking that will turn their world upside down. Back home, the stream which used to flow gently through the garden basin is starting to flood, and increasing rain and encounters with strange creatures threaten the fragile existence of the Underfoots and their home. The Sister trees have stood for a century but are now sickened by the constant floods drawing soil away from their roots. They feel their world is changing, and only help from the mystical myco creature can save them.

The Underfoots fear their home has already fallen to the human’s desire to turn the magical wilderness into a concrete jungle. Can Oke and their friends find Myco in time to heal the Sister trees and save their home?
