Micaylah and the Mystery of the Uluru

Micaylah Thompson, along with her uncle Thaddeus, left an indelible mark on global businessman Sam Breyer. Whenever he talked with them, Thad's words about children growing up quickly soulfully resonated with him. Needing a fresh start, Sam and daughter Emily moved to Australia's top end, settling in Darwin. Living like commoners fueled Emily's disdain for the land down under. When public school teacher Penelope Milcannon handed out a class assignment minutes before a two-week school holiday was about to begin, Emily was infuriated. Desperate for help, Sam reached out to Thad. Together, Micaylah and her mom, Nancy, hatched a plan. As Mica and Emily explored Kata Tjuta National Park, Thad and Sarah got a much-needed holiday from heavy workloads and toddler Angus. Doc Clarke chaperoned Sam and Nancy as they got better acquainted caring for her nephew. Everything seemed perfect until Doc's old friend, James Jeremiah MacGregor, called for help. Meanwhile, creation watched as Micaylah spiraled downward in slow motion. Shrubs and rocks tumbled alongside Emily and Mica's dog, Kumquat, into the deep ravine. When the girls and Mica's faithful Australian shepherd disappeared into the unforgiving, dangerous outback wilderness, so did everyone's perfect plans.
