The book is about twelve forest creatures whose mates disappear after being crystallized by a dark dust that falls every evening.
The forest creatures combine forces with Zac (the handsome woodcarver), Ana (his beautiful half-elf, half-human wife), and their timid, chubby, winged "doth" Pook (inspired by the author's dog Misty)[3] to save the creatures and restore the dying forest.
[6] Inside the book are clues to fourteen tokens that were hidden in parks throughout the United States, which could be redeemed for jewels representing characters from the story.
[7] The unique jewels, which were collectively valued at one million dollars,[8] have now all been found, and a book showing the solutions has been published.
[10] Three of the Treasure's Trove jewels were original pieces, including a 19th-century Russian grasshopper, a snail and a ladybug.
