With the twirl of a ring and the tolling of a grandfather clock, another adventure begins. Annabelle has promises to keep. The cousins have memories to find. And the Oracle has to make sure they're all finished in time. The Lantern Tree is a tale of adventure, discovery, and revelation as the hidden truths existing deep within the Shadowlands are exposed, and the illusions beyond the mirrors are shattered by reality.
Wanda Kay Knight lives in the Pacific Northwest, teaches literature, strives really hard to keep up with her adventurous/competitive family, makes things out of yarn (mainly unique hats), enjoys collecting pretty rocks, and writes a lot.
In a magical tale of adventure, eight cousins sneak through forbidden treehouse doors only to discover they are separated from each other and lost in strange worlds. In their quests to return home, they must unravel mysteries, escape snares and villains, find one another and search for the elusive Oracle. “The Peacock Door” is a rich story of camaraderie, loyalty and determination with a bit of whimsy sprinkled throughout.
With a combination of adventure, family camaraderie, hidden clues, strange characters and hidden ideas, the book is a well integrated theme of courage, understanding and the purpose of time.
