Synopsis
Rohan and Myra have known each for their whole lives – they were born on the same day in the same hospital. But on the day they’re supposed to be celebrating their birthday together, something terrible happens – they go upstairs to check on Rohan’s baby sister Shilpa and dis- cover that she’s disappeared. Suddenly a strange, magical being appears – Mab – who announces that she is their Fairy Godmother, and that Shilpa has been stolen by the Fairy Queen of Otherland – and that if Rohan and Myra want to rescue her they’ll have to go with Mab to Oth- erland too.
Together Mab, Rohan and Myra travel through the Mean- time – the space between the real world and Otherland
