THE STORY
Taking place immediately where their story left off, Oliver, Celia, and Eugene recover from the chaos of the black Dragon and the Imaginoactuator, determined to discover if Arthur Weirdwood was trying to steal their powers.
When the three young heroes come across a mysterious ghost boy named William, Arthur’s true intentions come frighteningly into question. Fearing the worst, they flee the Manor on a perilous quest through the realms of imagination in order to determine whether Arthur is truly a friend... or foe.
Unknown to our three heroes, an ancient evil is determined to destroy Weirdwood Manor. Worst of all, Oliver, Celia, and Eugene are the ones who set it free. In a climactic finale, they’ll have to unleash their true powers if they hope to save the Weirdwood legacy.
Full of mystery and adventure, our story aims to inspire children to celebrate their uniqueness, recognize their talents, and embrace their imagination.
