As her mother hasn’t gotten out of her coma yet, and the doctor wants to transfer Rage’s mother to another hospital however roads are being closed because of the weather. Also Rage is worried that her uncle who is her mother’s brother would go away again.
And as some of her animal friends didn’t come back with her stories are going around. Also a school bully who is a teenage boy called Logan is giving her trouble, but after something happens they become friends. Rage also finds out that she can make herself return to the other world where she finds The Witch Mother and discovers that something similar is going on there too.
