Little Naya sneaks out of her house at night to prove her mom wrong, that jumbies do exist--she just needs to find one first. Naya finds creatures in the forest that match her exact description of various jumbies, but they convince her otherwise and join her, one-by-one, on her quest to find a jumbie. Repetition, a fun quest, and the variety of monsters are extremely appealing to children.
