Sisters Pip and Maisie are spending the weekend at their grandparent’s cottage. Maisie is restless and longs for adventure, but life at the cottage is always slow.

When a bright light suddenly falls from the sky into the forest next door, Maisie can’t believe her luck – finally an adventure has come her way! She has boots on and torch in hand before Pip has even put down her hot chocolate.
