But the covey's peaceful existence is shaken when a mysterious sorpresa invades the clearing. Dun dun dunnn . . . Meet Gloria, a spunky and optimistic quail ready to celebrate. Except her friends seem to have forgotten her special day. Undeterred, Gloria decides to throw a last-minute party for her covey. But a warning about a mysterious sorpresa threatens to spoil her plans. Will she uncover the secret of the sorpresa? If Gloria is going to triumph, she will need all the optimism and determination she can muster!
