Brieshire is abuzz—its brand-new cheese factory is about to open, promising jobs, pride, and plenty of dairy delights. But just hours before the ribbon-cutting, disaster strikes: Mayor Maisie Cowly has vanished, and with her, the factory’s ceremonial keys. Without their beloved leader, the festivities threaten to curdle into chaos.
