Jim Springman and the Realm of Glory

In "Jim Springman and the Realm of Glory," Jim's birthday is off to a bad start, but things quickly escalate when his eccentric brother's experiment accidentally unleashes the Fifth Dimension. Suddenly, their quiet town of Queen's Port is overrun with creatures from Jim's sister Ingrid's best-selling fantasy novel, "The Realm of Glory," including goblins, a giant eel, and a terrifying dragon. With Ingrid mysteriously missing, Jim, along with his new neighbors, must embark on an unexpected quest to understand what has happened and restore their reality. This action-packed chapter book is suitable for readers aged 4-11, offering a blend of fantasy, adventure, and humor, while subtly exploring themes of teamwork, bravery, and family.

Jim's birthday has been a great disappointment. His present is a bus pass, two annoying girls have moved in next door, and his mad-scientist brother has accidentally altered reality as we know it by unleashing the Fifth Dimension. Suddenly there are goblins riding the bus, a giant eel in the river and a massive dragon terrorising the town. In fact, the town of Queen's Port is starting to resemble the best-selling fantasy novel The Realm of Glory, written by Jim's sister Ingrid, who has mysteriously vanished. Together with his neighbours, Jim must figure out what has happened, and how to fix it.
