Summary

In book 12, Honeybear and Gerumph travel toward the Red Circle Ranch. On their way, they encounter a very strange, dangerous creature, but also their old friend Douglas the owl. Together, they must survive a bewildering experience when the sun goes out, plunging them into total darkness in the middle of the day.

Eventually, they come to a poisoned river, where some greedy raccoons bar their way, demanding payment to let them cross the only bridge. Gerumph refuses and tries to cross anyway–which is when he discovers the raccoons have a swarm of stinging wasps on their side.

With no other option, the friends reluctantly pay the toll and continue their journey, but Douglas comes up with an unlikely way to get revenge....
