Ten-year-old Mina Bell has drawn the perfect route for Sunnyglass’s Parade of Good Ideas. Then one turned arrow sends every float, musician, baker, kite, and feather-hatted corgi into a pear orchard. Across seven cheerful choices, help Mina discover that changing a plan can create kinds of happiness no map could predict—and choose where the parade’s three possible finales will lead.

The shortest way through is about 14 min; the longest, about 15 min.

A child worries that a wrong turn will disappoint the town, and another child worries that her quiet musical cue does not matter. The conflicts remain gentle and resolve supportively. There is no violence, peril, death, romance, or strong language.
