Opis

In this fully-illustrated, humorous, magical, adventure fantasy, twins Fenix and Furie find themselves intrigued by a huge knothole at the base of an old cottonwood tree. When one of the girls accidentally bumps into a tree branch, the knothole swings open like the doorway it truly is. The girls are instantly transported to Edoux where they meet Mr. Rabbit, The Keeper of the Tree Portal. Mr. Rabbit explains that the wily Weasel Brothers are tunneling into the cave of Witch Elsie and that they are about to get themselves into big trouble. After the girls agree to help the trio of silly impetuous Weasel Brothers, Mr. Rabbit gives them each two magical gifts. The girls are delighted to find that the first gift, a pale blue feather on a black cord, is actually a flying transportation device, and the second is a silver bracelet which will instantly return them to Mr. Rabbit's house if they get in a bind. The girls use their feathers to fly to the Bengol Mountains only to find that Witch Elsie is far more dangerous than they ever could have imagined. Not only are the lovable Weasel Brothers in real danger, but all of Edoux could be changed forever if they are unable to stop the witch from carrying out her terrible plan. The girls enlist the help of an unlikely ally, the obnoxious Thomas-the-Know-It-All cat, and together with the blundering, food-crazed Weasel Brothers, their exciting adventure unfolds. The sometimes shy twins learn to not only rely on their own problem-solving skills to help resolve the crisis in Edoux, but they also find that the most magical gifts of all are the gifts of friendship and love.
