Plot Summary
Chloe's New Home
Chloe and her mom, Catherine, move to a new city called "Tenderville." Chloe is not happy about the move. She finds many gnomes around their new house. She even gives one to her neighbor, Liam, who is a bit awkward.
One evening, Chloe hears a noise in the kitchen. She finds a secret room with a bright green gem. She takes the gem and makes it into a necklace. But she doesn't know that taking the gem opens a portal in her basement. This portal lets out hungry creatures called "Troggs."
At school, Chloe tries to become friends with the popular girl, Brittany, and her friends, Chelsea and Tiffany. Chloe shows Brittany the necklace. She gives it to Brittany, hoping to become more popular.
Back home, Chloe finds a Trogg. She tries to get rid of it, but it eats everything she throws. Then, something unseen blows up the Trogg.
Gnomes and Troggs
The next day, Chloe's mom says she has to work extra. This allows a group of gnomes to tie her mom up. The gnomes know about the Troggs. Their leader, Zook, asks Chloe about the "Keystone." They tell her that the necklace is the Keystone. It is the only thing stopping the Troggs from invading their world.
A Trogg interrupts them. After a struggle, Zook shows that music is the Troggs' weakness. He sends the Trogg back using his ooze blaster. Liam sees all of this. Chloe asks him to help fight the Troggs.
Chloe tries to get the necklace back from Brittany, but she can't. The gnomes go to their secret hideout. They call a "code red," which locks the house. This keeps the Troggs from getting outside.
The Keystone and the Trogg Realm
Quicksilver, one of the gnomes, explains that Troggs are their enemies. Troggs ate the life that the gnomes needed to survive. The gnomes used the Keystone to stop the Troggs' portals from opening. Zook also says that their old leader, Zamfeer, went into the Trogg realm to destroy it. But Zamfeer never came back.
Chloe, Liam, and the gnomes use a special ooze from a plant. They work together to fight off the Troggs.
Friends and Foes
Chloe plans to get the necklace from Brittany at a school dance. Liam tells Chloe about his past with Brittany and her friends (the BTCs). He warns Chloe to stay away from them. He worries she will get hurt if she moves again. Chloe gets upset, and they stop being friends.
At the dance, Chloe learns Brittany didn't bring the necklace. Chloe plans to go to Brittany's house after the dance. Chloe gets distracted. Meanwhile, the gnomes are being overwhelmed by the Troggs.
Liam feels humiliated by the BTCs and goes home. He accidentally falls into a Trogg portal. He gets stuck in the Trogg realm. Chloe realizes Liam was right. She stops being friends with the BTCs and goes home.
Saving the Day
Chloe learns about Liam's accident. She becomes brave and goes after him through a portal in the toilet. She finds Liam, who is happy to see her and accepts her apology. She also meets Zamfeer, who is now old and smelly.
They find a giant crystal, like the one Quicksilver talked about. They plan to use Chloe's phone battery to blow up the crystal. This will destroy the Trogg realm. They blow up the crystal, which is a bigger version of the Keystone. They use the invading Troggs to escape through a portal. The portal sucks the Troggs back into their realm. Liam, Chloe, and Zamfeer escape from the toilet. The gnomes are very happy to see Zamfeer again.
Brittany arrives to make fun of Chloe and Liam. She threatens to destroy the remaining Keystone. While Brittany is talking, everyone sees the Mega Trogg. This is the last Trogg, made from the remains of the others. It escapes from the basement. It blocks their escape. Chloe, Brittany, Liam, and the gnomes go to the roof. They bring the ooze plant, which the Mega Trogg fears.
The Mega Trogg takes Brittany hostage. The others are left hanging off the roof. Chloe uses the Keystone, Brittany's phone, and the ooze plant to make a bomb. The bomb blows up the Mega Trogg and fixes their world.
Chloe wakes up next to her mom. She tells her mom she wants to stay in Tenderville. Brittany says she doesn't remember anything from the night before. Chloe realizes the gnomes are still there. She walks to school with Liam.
