Plot[]
On the road, Roland and Sofia arrive in the Whispering Woods, which Sofia has wanted to come to for so long since she heard it's enchanted. Sofia plans to explore it while her father sees how a new road is coming along, then they plan to have a picnic. Before Sofia sets out, her father gives her one of two together feathers so that she can find her way back to him if she loses her way. While exploring, Sofia and Clover, who came along for the picnic, come across a silver tree. Once inside, the pair fall down a hole and into a magical land. An elf named Elfonso appears and tells them they are in Elvenmoor, the elven world. He also explains they got in through the magical Elvenmoor door that connects Elvenmoor with the human world. Sofia wants to go back, but Elfonso insists they stay a while and gives them a musical tour of Elvenmoor.
All the sights make Sofia and Clover squeal with joy. Elfonso offers to show them the rest of Elvenmoor. Sofia wants to go back, but Clover tells her they can stay a little longer and Elfonso tells her they have plenty of time before the door moves again. Clover finds a forever carrot, which is a carrot you can eat for the rest of your life. Elfonso decides to show Sofia the Silverspray Stream and she agrees to it. Meanwhile back in the Whispering Woods, Duncan and Herb tell Roland that they must cut down the silver tree to stay on schedule and he consents, to the dismay of a man who came from Elvenmoor. The man reveals that if the tree gets cut down the door to Elvenmoor will be closed forever and no one will be able to get in or out, to the dismay of Whatnaught, who also tagged along with Sofia. The man heads back to Elvenmoor to get help to stop them. The man is revealed to be another elf named Elfred, and tries to tell Sofia she's about to get trapped in Elvenmoor, but Elfonso interrupts him and pulls her away for a ride. After the ride, Elfred tells Sofia what's going on and that the door has moved. Sofia agrees to stop her father and the Royal Work Crew. Elfred tells her that to find the door in time she must follow the green path and, whatever she does, to stay on the path. Back in the Whispering Woods, Whatnaught is doing everything in his power to prevent the tree from being chopped down.
Sofia, Clover, and Elfonso are going down the green path and Sofia sees for herself why Elfred warned them to stay on the path: There are all kinds of fun places like the Rockbeat Garden. They finally find the door, but Elfonso and Clover get distracted by the Bubble Field and its bubble rides in a way that makes them miss the door again. The trio find the door again, but Clover gets abducted by a taykit bird and they take off after him. Sofia gets them back on the path, but the door they find turns out to be an illusion because they're in the Illusion Grove. Sofia takes out her together feather. They finally find the door and go through it. Once she gets back, Sofia tells her father about Elvenmoor. Roland orders the tree to not be chopped down. Sofia and Roland go back to Elvenmoor to have their picnic there.
