Brooklyn finds herself entering a world of exceptional characters and fantastic experiences after finding a time travel craft nestled deep in the woods on a fall rainy day. As she enters the craft, its engines ignite and Brooklyn is transported to another world as different from planet earth as imaginable! Here she encounters an interesting companion, Nodin, who comes to her aid and fends off "The Eaters" and rescues her from a throng of fearsome monsters who wish them harm. Brooklyn is then taken to see the King who promises to bestow the gift of wisdom on her if she first reads his entire library with the aid of a magic key. But, before the King can allow Brooklyn to receive the gift of wisdom, she first must tell the King how she would use such a magnificent gift! As Brooklyn begins to tell the King how she would use the gift of wisdom, she suddenly finds herself back in her home nestled in the woods. Was it all a dream? Was it real? And why, oh why is Nodin sitting in Brooklyn's kitchen with a sly smile on his face? This is the first volume of a series that will involve Brooklyn and Nodin exploring hyperspace and its many adventures. Stay tuned for volume 2! This book can also be used to encourage children's imaginations and to develop their writing skills as well as artistic skills. There are blank pages left to write their feelings, impressions, thoughts, and drawings. They can also include themselves into the scenes or redo a scene completely and draw and doodle to their heart's content! This book expands a child's wonderful imagination and aids in creative expression. It makes the book a child's "own." and a treasure for both parent and child to keep for many years to come. This book could also be used as a school workbook and part of the English or Art curriculum because of the blank pages left for imaginative, creative expression in both the written word and art. It is an innovative way of not only encouraging a child to read but also to develop a life long love of reading. This book is filled with fantastic imagery and is suitable for children around eight years of age. Written by a retired teacher.
