For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams.

Nurk is a quiet homebody of a shrew. But when a mysterious plea for help arrives in the mail, he invokes the spirit of his fearless warrior-shrew grandmorther, Surka, and sets off to find the sender. It seems the prince of the dragonflies has been kidnapped, and Nurk is his last hope for rescue. Such a mission would be daunting for even the biggest, baddest, and bravest of shrews, and Nurk is neither big nor bad, and only a little brave. But he does his very best - and hopes his grandmother would be proud.

Faedra had no idea that faeries controlled nature, and with a book no less. Nor did she know that her ancestors had protected an ancient fae amulet for thousands of years. An amulet that, if ever was reunited with the book, would give the wearer power to control the weather, too.

Journee is no ordinary mouse. She is a princess and daughter of the Great Mouse King, who is incredibly wise and presides over a vast and beautiful kingdom. Princess Journee loves life, but has one nagging question: Who is she?
With her adventurous spirit and her father's mighty steed to protect her, she embarks on a quest to find herself. The adventure takes an interesting turn when she befriends a valiant toad and a wise owl who tell her about a mysterious and legendary Pond of Reflection, known to reveal one's true identity. But first they must find it, if indeed it exists.
Together, Princess Journee and her new friends embark on a perilous quest to find the pond and use its magic to uncover her true identity. Exploring never-before-seen parts of the Kingdom, their mission is filled with challenges and obstacles that will test their courage, wits, and strength of character.

Story
Princess Emma will do just about anything to get out of marrying the self-centered Prince Jorge. So when she meets a frog named Eadric who claims, of course, to be a prince, she decides to give him a kiss and see what happens. Bad idea. The frog stays a frog, and worse still, Emma turns into a frog herself. It turns out only the person who cast the spell can break it, so Emma and Eadric are soon hopping along trying to find the witch who can make them human again.
