Hi I'm a little boy who goes to the woods most weeks with my parents. While my mommy gets our picnic ready, I like to play with my friends the animals.Today I've been playing with squirrels, we had great fun climbing trees and running around. Then the squirrels got hungry and took me to a secret spot where they had hidden their nuts. We all had one, only I couldn't open mine and smallest squirrel rolled over laughing.Then they took me to a big tree to climb."I can't climb that, it's too big for me to climb"."Just follow me" said baby squirrel.Before I realised it, I was sitting on the top of the tree looking out across all the trees and I could see other animals running around. I decided that I would play with other animals next time and see the squirrels again.

Join Poppy and Noah on a whimsical journey as their game of snakes and ladders transports them to a sky-high realm. Landing on the same square, they find themselves drawn to a dazzling castle that glistens with enchantment. Crossing the magical glass drawbridge, they encounter two children their own age, and together, they embark on an extraordinary adventure. In the music room, the girls twirl with candlesticks, bewitched by instruments that play melodies on their own. They listen to living books and befriend a gentle bookworm, finding care instead of danger. Meanwhile, the boys soar on the backs of mighty eagles, their spirits lifted with exhilaration. However, their path takes a turn when they discover a neighbouring castle, where lives have been upended by the dark forces of evil.

Poppy and Noah have become best friends after Noah moved into Poppy's village from a large town. They often play snakes and ladders during the lunch break in the school playground. One day they land on the same square they are taken on a magical adventure to another world. In this adventure they land on a desert island where they talk and swim with animals and trees. Noah finds a treasure map and the children go on a journey to find the treasure.
