Lily and Jess can’t wait until they can attend the Rushy River boat race in Friendship Forest. Grizelda has other ideas though. Her sand dragon is sent to turn the Prickelback hedgehog family into stone. It is up to the girls and Emily Prickelback to find a way that they can change them back to save the river so the boat race can go on. I would recommend this for any collection owning others in the Magic Animal Friends series.

Read this book to my daughter who is 8 years old. She liked it but was not engrossed in it as other books.
