Mildred is a super clever 11-year-old from New Zealand. She’s an only-kid raised by her mum and loves diving into books to escape her everyday life. Her big dream is to find the Canterbury Panther, a legendary creature hardly ever seen by humans, and win a big old cash prize. But when her mum gets hurt and needs time in the hospital, Mildred’s dad, who she’s never really known, comes to take care of her. He’s a magician from America who’s seen better days. Mildred and her Dad decide to go camping together to look for the mysterious panther while her mum gets better..

Mildred and her dad go traveling together in the South Island to look for the Canterbury Panther hoping they could find it.  They tried very hard to find it but they had bad luck, so they just looked around for a spot to set up their tent for the night so they could go searching for it the next day.

On day 2 they searched even harder and found many things like interesting books about worms and even found toys that looked like they had been sitting in the dirt for a very long time.  

They searched everywhere, they even walked up the hills, they looked through the forest but still found nothing. They went back to their camp site and waited until night to go searching for it again.  Once it was night time they went searching for the Canterbury Panther, they went back into the forest and found a spot they had not seen, it was a “do not enter zone” because it had claimed to be far too dangerous, they thought they might get lucky finding the Canterbury panther if they entered the zone but the second they stepped in the “do not enter zone” they immediately felt like something was wrong as all the mist started coming out of nowhere, and they could not see a single thing.
