About the Story

Can a serious nine year old girl and a tiny forest gnome save summer?

Nine year old Sophie believes growing up means schedules, logic and textbooks, until she accidentally steps on Gnome Tom, the Chief Guardian of Forest Springs.

When the magical painting The First Day of Summer is stolen by the Master of Boredom and the witch Brunhilda, summer itself is in danger.

Together with Simon and the magical pony Cloud, Sophie must solve puzzles, survive magical trials and prove that friendship, courage and imagination are stronger than fear.
