Snapper Snick is near-sighted but he can "read" any writing by eating it. The queen's note tells them they need to go to the Wishing Well. On the way they meet Oliver the Ostrich who's favorite foods are alarm clocks and bacon, a strange combination to say the least. The group eventually reach the Wishing Well but Paddy leans too far over the well and loses his balance, falling in the well.

Queen Melissa listens to their plight then writes special instructions, places them in an envelope and seals it. She tells them that if they follow the instructions, they can restore the silver star. The catch is that the instructions must be read in total darkness. The Grand Wunky points them in the direction of the Wishing Woods telling them that they will find total darkness there. When they get to the woods, they meet Snapper Snick, the Crooning Crocodile who promptly eats the instructions.

Hoping that Queen Melissa can fix the star, Crazy Quilt suggests they visit her. Before they can see the queen, they have to meet the Grand Wunky who is the queen's attendant. After explaining their predicament to the attendant, he takes them in to meet the queen.

Even though Crazy Quilt swallowed the whistle, he still manages to whistle three times. Sure enough, Fee Fo comes to their rescue. Even though he might want to go with the friends, Fee Fo can't fit through the picture frame. After going through the frame, the quartet find the witch and stand up to her, demanding the star back. She refuses and threatens to turn them into really horrible, ugly things. The witch sees her reflection in Judy's mirror and is shocked. She is so shocked at her ugly appearance, she gives the children back the star. They, however, let Crazy Quilt put the star in his pocket. When they all get back to Maybeland, the dragon accidentally sits on the star, crushing it.

There was nothing to be afraid of after all - the lights are Crazy Quilts eyes! Wintergreen Witch put him in a trance. After the friends wake the dragon, they find out that the witch stole the star. They set off to find their way back to the witch's home but find themselves lost in the woods. Jimmy remembers that Fee Fo the giant gave him a magic whistle. All he needs to do is whistle three times to bring the giant. Unfortunately, Crazy Quilt swallows the whistle when he takes a big breath to inhale.

There is really no need for the group to be afraid because, despite the giant's size, Fee Fo is very gentle. He take Paddy, Judy and Jimmy to a fabulous banquet in the Goody Good Grove. Night falls quickly in the forest and in the dark, they see two frightening yellow lights.

Somehow, Paddy crossed some kind of invisible line followed by Judy and Jimmy. Professor Whiz, a very smart owl, says he saw Crazy Quilt run into the Wintergreen Witch's home. The trio head into the home, even though the Wintergreen Witch has a fearsome reputation, to find it empty except for a picture of a forest. Since they were in a witch's house and the only thing around is the picture it must be magical so they try stepping through the picture. Once in the woods, they meet Fraidy Cat who tells them about the huge giant who lives in the forest. As Fraidy Cat is telling the story, the giant shows up causing the four of them to run away.

The Candy Pirates were nice enough to give the trio a row boat before they set off for their original destination. As Paddy, Judy and Jimmy were rowing to shore, a magic wave interferes with their progress to keep them from getting to shore so they row to another part of the beach were the water is calm. After landing on the beach, they set of to find the Roly Poly Policeman. When they find him, the star is no longer on his uniform. The policeman goes on to describe Crazy Quilt and explains that he gave him the star since the dragon was their friend. The policeman points them in Crazy Quilt's direction. While heading in the same direction in search of the dragon, Paddy disappears!

Not the bravest of dragons, Crazy Quilt bolts again leaving his friends to the mercy of the pirates. Paddy, Judy and Jimmy are marched aboard the ship--which is named the Suzy Q.--where they meet Captain Tatty. Happily, they find out the Candy Pirates are very friendly and they all head out to Obi to help their new friends. Looking through the telescope as they approach the island, someone spots the Roly Poly Policeman patrolling the beach with the silver star pinned to his uniform.

Sad but determined, Crazy Quilt swims to the shore so his companions can dry out. While drying out they meet Presto the Magician who is about as inept a magician as you can possibly find. Presto insists on giving them a demonstration of his magical powers and accidentally pulls Penelope out of his hat which does not make her happy in the least. When he grabbed her she was so startled that she dropped the star over an island called Obi. Naturally, the group wants to head to Obi so they begin looking for a boat but they find a treasure chest. Where there are treasure chests there are usually pirates and sure enough they are surrounded by pirates!
