"Life for Gargamel has been frustrating of late: he's tired of hunting, living alone, and cooking for himself. A lady companion would be a solution... but who would take the frumpy evil sorcerer as a companion?! If love is magic, can even Gargamel be transformed for the better? The Smurfs think so and concoct a scheme to get Gargamel partnered up! Also featuring the Smurfs' friends Johan and Peewit in an adventure of their own. Johan, the royal page, and Peewit, the court jester, investigate the truth behind a young noble with exceptional swordsmanship." -- Provided by publisher.
