Imagine there was a world where magic worked. What if there was a gateway between here and there? What if that gateway could be opened? What if that gateway was opened by a ten year old girl with a very clear view on how things should be run? Amy's little brother Robbie has been kidnapped by a monster. No-one believes her except her best friend Sarah and arch-rival Paul whose brother is also missing. The three form a reluctant alliance to find the missing boys. The plan was simple. Follow the monster through the purple swirly thing. Fight the monster. Rescue the boys. But things don't go quite according to plan. The other side is not a monster's den but a whole other world where people are coloured depending on the realm they belong to and magic is used in place of science. Can Lord Ceren work out who these strange children are and where they really come from? Will Yareph find the courage to risk his friends and his mind to do what is right? Can Amy and her friends find Robbie and Dave and get home before Mum finds out?
