"e;I've finally got a bedroom to myself,"e; called out Hannah, busily putting toys and books neatly on a shelf. "e;Me too,"e; 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 ....... "e;Mum,"e; said Poppy, "e;I've got to make a house out of a shoebox for homework and it has to be back in on Monday."e; "e;No,"e; Sophie corrected her, "e;the house has to be in the shoebox, I think."e; "e;Well, I thought Mrs Hayes actually said a garden anyway,"e; retorted Poppy, "e;not a house."e; "e;I know what,"e; said mum trying to quickly diffuse the situation and keep the peace, "e;we'll do both - a house and a garden in a shoebox, how about that?"e; 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.
