The second instalment in the debut fantasy trilogy. A magical adventure awaits!
Long ago (or maybe it was yesterday?) after the Nothing but before our world’s beginning, the Story Realm was already ancient. A small and wonderful universe, where the Great River flows deep and powerful, feeding every part of that world . . . But at the time of this story, something was very wrong with the River.
P has always had a special connection to water. Their first step as a baby was towards a river. Nearly 12, rivers are P’s safe place where almost everything makes sense. But now the Great River is sick, and she desperately needs P’s help.
But how can a regular kid save a whole river, let alone an entire magical Realm?
And what kind of a greedy world destroys its own environment and poisons its waters . . . oh, wait.
In the second instalment of the magical adventure series, P is going to have to be the bravest they’ve ever been. Join P, Sibyl and Tane as they cross the bridge into the Story Realm, and into the wildest adventure of their lives!
Brooke Scobie is a queer, auDHD, First Nations mum, author and poet that lives on Darkinjung land. Ever since she was very little, Brooke has loved books and stories. Which, of course, makes sense since she grew up with a mum whose favourite thing was her overflowing bookcase and reading before bed.
Brooke is most passionate about creating stories and worlds where weird, wonderful kids and adults of all shapes and sizes can see themselves in magical places, on extraordinary adventures! She hopes that one day every child who reads her stories will know they can be a storyteller too.
Brooke has brown hair most of the time, though it’s also been pink, blue, green and purple. She loves swimming in the ocean, big bags of chips and fart jokes.
Jade Goodwin is a First Nations illustrator from Australia with curly brown hair and a big imagination. When she was a little girl, she loved spending time in her grandparents’ screen-printing studio, creating all sorts of fun things with the studio supplies.
Since her first book was published in 2022, Jade has illustrated a bunch more,
and now loves working from home, drawing almost every day alongside her three furry assistants - a.k.a cats.
Her sweet and bright illustrations bring imagination to life, and she hopes to inspire both children and adults alike. Jade loves finding magic in everyday moments, dreaming up new worlds and drawing way past her bedtime.
