Whetu and her mum are looking after a magician's house and farm animals. In the house, things move around , giggle and quack. On the farm, the animals have tricks too. Just as Whetu is getting used to all, the magician's assistant disappers. Now, Whetu must step in, And she does something amazing with the magic in her fingertips.
When Whetu’s mother takes a job organising a magician’s house and farm, Whetu becomes the animal keeper, looking after a golden ram, three lazy pigs, talking horses, a cowardly bull and the magician's stage assistant – an arrogant white rabbit called Errant. Errant’s been playing around with magic and created a carnivorous lamb, which he can’t change back. Rather than face the magician, Errant disappears and Whetu becomes the magician’s new assistant, just in time for the Royal Performance. It all seems to be going well until Errant reappears to seek his revenge, and Whetu must save the day – and the king.
