yarn quest: the search for the story realm

Long ago (or maybe it was yesterday?) in the depths of the cool dark bush, under fallen trees and lime green moss, lived an ancient magic. A magic that, despite what you might imagine, did not belong there at all. It especially didn’t belong at a 10-year-old’s house.

Tane was looking for adventure as he raced through the bush after school one day. What he was not looking for was a Story Spirit: yep, he met some kind of ghost-kid with a cheeky grin and swirling colours, looking like a whole universe was trapped inside them. But the Story Spirit is stuck, and urgently needs Tane and Sibyl’s help . . . only finishing a story will get them back home.

Sounds easy, right?

But spirits aren’t real . . . are they?

And how can telling a story change a real-life ending? And when does a story become a lie?

The first in a magical new adventure series for kids aged eight-and-up, join Sibyl and Tane on the quest of a lifetime uncovering a powerful storytelling force along the way.
