“Eight young authors, aged 7 to 11, and eight worlds you have never visited. A dog with one big ear and six magic peacock feathers.”

Eight young authors, aged 7 to 11, and eight worlds you have never visited. A dog with one big ear and six magic peacock feathers. A cat with no whiskers, the only detective who can crack the great underpants mystery. A football final on a mountain that changes colour, a king’s stolen crown, a princess lost in the Kingdom of Flowers, a mermaid’s missing moonstone, a boy chasing the immortals stone across dimensions, and Oaky San, who wins every fight with an UNO reverse card. Every story in this book was written by a child and kept in their own words.
