The Thirteenth Toll

Big Ben shouldn’t strike 13 and Diggory Jones’ brother should not have gone missing from a central London museum in broad daylight. Determined to find him and prove that he is not the useless nerd everyone thinks he is, Diggory retraces the last moments he spent with his brother by breaking into the museum at midnight. Just as he discovers an abandoned priest hole, Diggory hears the bells of Big Ben toll 13 times. It is a sound that transports him back in time to 1888. To a time when the museum was a grey and dangerous workhouse. 136 years in the past, Bryony Entwhistle is secretly investigating the case of the missing children. One-by-one, her friends have been disappearing from the workhouse dormitories. Sneaking out to her secret hideout just after midnight, Bryony discovers a strangely dressed boy from the future has broken into her room. With a shared purpose of finding their loved ones, this unlikely duo team up to uncover the mystery of the missing children. Forced to confront an ever-present evil, find their friends and make Big Ben strike 13 again, Bryony and Diggory forge a loyalty that will transcend the centuries that divide them.

Toucan’s Tree

Toucan loves listening to the buzz of the forest, but when a new noise starts drowning out the usual symphony, Toucan knows things aren’t right. Clouds of dark smoke send the animals running, but when they return, their home and trees are gone. As Toucan takes in the smouldering new landscape, he hears the ghostly whispers of the trees, telling him that it's time for the forest to fight back. Toucan follows, as the wind whips up the seeds from the forest floor and carries them over to the city. They fall onto the roofs, into the cars, into the gutters and drains. And that night, as the city sleeps, the forest grows! The buzz of the city is replaced by the hum of the forest and the people will have to adapt to the new life!”
