Mournequest
The year is 1847. Jack Turner’s 11th Birthday.
It is the awful day that his father is lost at sea.
And despite great grandma Tess’ belief
in the power of dandelion wishes, Jack knows
no amount of magic will ever bring him back.
But he tries anyway.
Nothing happens…
In an act of rage Jack sets in motion a series
of events that transport him to
THE KINGDOM OF MOURNE,
a realm half-real, half-imagined and filled with
all manner of fantastical creatures.
Jack encounters Cobs, a 437-year-old Clurichaun
(don’t call him a Leprechaun) who lives alone in
a creaky old mansion perched on top of a tree
that grows within a tree.
Cobs is the one who captures dandelion clocks
so wishes can come true. He tells Jack that
someone has been stealing clocks for the last
century, so no wishes can come true.
Jack convinces Cobs to help him and together
they set out on a quest to fulfil Jack’s greatest wish…
…to bring his father back.
