They head for the Wide Wide Long Cool Coast of the Lost Socks, having heard that there just might be a small colony of Riettas living there. They talk to the lost socks and have no choice but to trust a tennis sock, and their journey becomes more frightening from there. Will Henrietta make it to her destination? Will she find a new home for the fading Rietta? Will she find Olive Higgie and Albert again?
