Based on the true story of soccer legend Mia Hamm, Mia and Friends tells the empowering story of a group of young women who became as close as sisters on the soccer field, eventually making history at the 1999 Women's World Cup!

The penultimate item on their adventuring to-do list is the Animus Bell, which The Director tells them is hidden at the heart of Wonderland, a carnival of torment.

And if they can secure the Bell, surely then the worst will be over, right? They're so close to the end, after all, and they've gone through so much to get this far. There can't possibly be any further surprises in store...

Will Kay find her place in a world that's so much more God-fearing and monster-fighting than what she's used to? Or will a pack of demons use Blights like Kay as the key to starting some real big trouble?
