Book Synopsis

Hilarious, surprising, and delightfully disgusting, the latest picture book from co-director of the acclaimed stop-motion tribute for Over the Garden Wall's 10th anniversary, BAFTA Award-winning, and Oscar-nominated animation director Mikey Please expands the outrageously irresistible world of the smash hit, The Café at the Edge of the Woods.

In Glumfoot's cave, there's only one item on the menu: booger stew.

But he dreams of puff pastry and sweet sorbet.

Then one day, a human named Rene builds a nearby log cabin smelling of all the delicious foods one could eat.

But a local ogre thinks Rene smells rather tasty too! Can Glumfoot save Rene--and his chance at a decadent meal--with his quick thinking?

This riotously clever addition to the Café at the Edge of the Woods world will thrill fans of the first installment featuring Glumfoot, Rene, and the monstrous clientele of the café.
