"I've finally got a bedroom to myself," called out Hannah, busily putting toys and books neatly on a shelf.
"Me too," shouted her brother Jack excitedly from the room next door as he shoved things under the bed that he couldn't find a home for.
A new house at last. What could possibly go wrong?
But all is not as it seems as earlier that day .......
"Mum," said Poppy, "I've got to make a house out of a shoebox for homework and it has to be back in on Monday."
"No," Sophie corrected her, "the house has to be in the shoebox, I think."
"Well, I thought Mrs Hayes actually said a garden anyway," retorted Poppy, "not a house."
"I know what," said mum trying to quickly diffuse the situation and keep the peace, "we'll do both - a house and a garden in a shoebox, how about that?"
And so it was that, due to Poppy Wilson's daydreaming, her homework assignment quite literally took on a life of it's own.
With a little bit of magic, she and her two sisters are led into a tiny world full of mysteries and mishaps.
