 “ I wanted the reader to shadow the main character of the story,
Zoë and join in her adventure. I believe I achieved my objective.
The characters are imaginative, interesting and colourful.
Children will love experiencing a visit into another dimension.”
What does she find at the other end of the rainbow?
You have to read the book to find out.

“…At the top of the stairs there was nothing,
except a grandfather clock. It had a sun and
moon decorative inset and a gold face. The
time on the clock was ten past five. The front
panel was slightly open.
Zoë called out again. ‘Phineas are you up here?’
She was puzzled because there were no
other doors. The only piece of furniture was
the clock. There were no windows, so it was
quite dim. She heard Phineas’s voice.
‘Come through, Zoë.’
‘Come through where?’
‘Through the clock, it is open.’
Zoë opened the panel fully and saw daylight
beyond.’

“… ‘Zoë, this is Popcorn, he’s a dinky little dragon,
isn’t he?’
It was as Zoë and Roseena patted his head,
that Popcorn changed colour. First from yellow
to orange, then from orange to red. Then, with
the excitement of the attention from the girls, a
cloud of yellow burst from beneath his tail, which
smelt like rotten eggs. Zoë and Roseena backed
away pinching their noses.”

“I wonder who will enter the grandfather clock next?” |
