Ed and his buddy Moose want to join the soccer team but to make the team they either have to sell 30 chocolate bars, 30 rolls of wrapping paper or 30 jars of mixed nuts. Ed picks the chocolate and figures it will be a piece of cake.
But, when Ed and Moose step outside the school they discover it's one of those really warm days and Ed's chocolate bars just might not make it home without melting. Mouse, Moose's brother, volunteers to run those bars home at his fastest speed.
Ed has a magic coin in his pocket. This coin gives him the power to make all kinds of strange things happen and when Ed gets home the strangeness begins.
Ed is The Stranger and The Stranger is about to make pigs and ponies appear along with talking coins.
What magical powers does Ed have? Can he use them to solve his chocolate problem so he can make the soccer team? Imaginative, a little zany, and a whole lot of fun, this is a highly entertaining story. Just what will turn up next? Only the Stranger knows!!!
