Journeybag : the First Adventure

Mira Lark has always loved patterns—the rhythm of tree branches, the way pastry braids mirror a river’s curves. Her summers at Aunt Zadie’s creaky old house are supposed to be about tea kettles and blueberry braids. But when she and her cautious friend Rafi Calder ignore one of Aunt Zadie’s playful warnings, they stumble into an attic filled with trunks, dust, and a suitcase that hums like it remembers.The suitcase doesn’t just open. It transports. One moment they’re in the dim attic; the next, they’re fighting for balance on the deck of a storm-tossed ship, with strangers who treat them like shipmates. Each click of its brass clasps sends them tumbling into new worlds—libraries where knowledge hums, festivals of learning where secrets gleam, and shadow-haunted places where covetous eyes watch from the dark.To master the suitcase, Mira and Rafi must learn its rhythms and ask the right questions—about trust, about courage, and about the patterns hidden in stories themselves. Because someone else wants the JourneyBag, and not for wonder’s sake.Adventure, danger, and discovery wait inside every seam of this magical object. The question is: will Mira and Rafi learn how to guide it…before it decides their fate for them?
