Marnie the little moon-loving moth and her friends are going on a camping trip! Marnie, Floyd and Star snuggle down for a good night’s sleep tucked up inside their leaf sleeping bags. But when they wake up they realise that they are no longer in the meadow … they're inside a HUMAN HOUSE!

As the friends search for a way out of the giant house they stumble across all sorts of weird and wonderful things including a very playful cat and a whole swarm of perplexing wasps. Can the friends go on a MINIBEAST MISSION and make it back to school safely…?
