Climate emergency! Broken-winged fairies? In a generation when childhood is a diagnosed disease, the fate of the worlds and its disappearing children lies in the hands of a young boy. A new nanny brings questions. Are the people around him serving his best interests, and what are their motives? Through a magical book he learns about the other worlds, along the way, solving some of childhood's greatest mysteries. Like, where does The Tooth Fairy come from, and what does she do with all those teeth? And where does the Easter Bunny get their chocolate eggs, and what exactly are bum nuts?

Humans have survived on over 4000 species of flora and fauna since we have existed on this planet. Our current food system has us limited to 30, all monoculture-farmed and highly processed.
We can change this world overnight. The solution comes in a simple but defiant act. To consume ethically, support local economies, and learn how to grow, cook, and preserve food.
Even if you live in an apartment, one well-planted pot is both low maintenance and pure joy when you harvest some greens and flavourings or make a lovely homemade herb tea from your garden.

Reviews from focus group target read.
* The characters captivated me from the start. Each time I had to put it down, I would be wondering what was going to happen next – I really wanted to know. Even though I think it’s directed at children (and my children LOVED it – they’re still talking about F.A.R.T.’s!), it definitely has appeal for adults as there was quite a lot of adult humour and “cynicisms” about society today.
* I loved the messages that the book had. They were very simple and very well put across. It really made me think about what we do as humans as a whole, but also, what we can do as individuals to help each other and the environment. On a personal note, it gave me a “lightbulb” moment – hold no grudges. People make mistakes, but mistakes can be made right again.
* I’m so looking forward to reading the novel and finding out more about the characters and how they came to be. I have a particular fondness for “King Grub” and “Zion the Lion”.
* This story will captivate children and educate the grown-ups! Magical, inspiring, funny, witty and educational! Loved it!
* Loved it! It was great humorous, positive and loved the characters!
* Can’t wait to see the mini-series, just wanted more!
* Clever, witty, socially relevant! Just brilliant!
