In the quiet hamlet of Willowbrook, the Collymore family—Mr. Collymore, Mrs. Collymore, their daughters: Ridley, the oldest, Holly and Piper, the twins, and the youngest, Fern—moved with their cat Momo to a grand, antiquated manor. Within its cavernous walls, secrets awaited discovery.

Fern, often overlooked amidst familial bustle, possessed an extraordinary intellect and an insatiable love for literature. As the children explored their new abode, Ridley chanced upon an ornate necklace, which she promptly donned. Meanwhile, Holly and Piper reveled in play, their laughter echoing through the long-untouched halls.

​

Yet, it was Fern who unearthed the heart of the house—the hidden library. Amidst its dusty shelves, she encountered a massive, weathered tome—an exquisite first edition— with something mysteriously missing from its cover. Excitement surged as she read aloud to her faithful companion, Momo the cat. The book wove a fantastical tale of a magical jungle world—a place where lost historical figures, mythical beasts, and legendary heroes converged.

​

As Fern delved deeper into the book, strange sounds enveloped her—the distant roar of a lion, the rustle of ancient leaves. She closed the book in awe and trepidation, her heart racing. Curiosity prevailed, and she rushed to share her discovery with her skeptical sisters. At first, they dismissed Fern, but, after much persuasion, they agreed to join her in reading the mysterious volume.

Their mother, sensing an opportunity for family bonding, suggested they explore the treehouse together. The children ascended, Ridley still wearing the necklace. As they read the mysterious book aloud, the world around them trembled—the jungle sounds intensified, and the treehouse spun like a compass gone wild. The necklace glowed, its gem—the missing piece from the book’s cover—activating the tome’s latent magic.

​

Suddenly, they found themselves transported into the very world they read about—a place between realms. Here, Amelia Earhart, Queen Boudicca, Cleopatra, and other lost historical figures materialized. Legends like King Arthur and Robin Hood walked beside them, not to mention mythical beasts like the great dragon. 

​

The book became their guide, revealing the true histories of these characters and their inexplicable disappearance from the annals of time. The children navigated treacherous jungles, meeting both benevolent and fearsome beings. As they adventured, they suddenly noticed they had lost the crystal necklace— the piece they needed to combine with the book in order to return home. As days turned into weeks, the Collymore siblings forged alliances, and faced peril.  They discovered the power of family, and the magic of history, as they sought the lost crystal in their journey through the unknown.
