When Lucy disappears one day, the children decide to look for her and so begins their adventure.. On their journey they meet all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures, such as Binklebonk the Goblin, Dinglemouse, Dulboot the Giant and BadJelly the Witch herself who captures the children and imprisons them in her castle.
