Synopsis

A fifty-year-old mystery. A hidden treasure. A secret that only sings at midnight.

In the quiet, honey-stoned village of Bramblebrook, life usually follows a predictable rhythm-until ten-year-old Lila discovers a small, carved wooden box on a dusty shelf in Maggie's Curios. When she winds the brass key, it plays a haunting melody that no one has heard for half a century.

Together with the Bramblebrook Curio Club-tech-whiz Jake (and his mischievous ferret, Barnaby), artistic Mia, and quiet observer Toby-Lila uncovers the legend of the village's missing bronze statue of Queen Victoria vanished without a trace in 1973, the statue was more than just metal; it was the heart of the community.

Following a trail of riddles, old newspaper clippings, and secret maps left behind by the shop's original owner, Mr. Thorne, the four friends find themselves on a midnight quest through overgrown church gardens and hidden underground chambers. But as they get closer to the truth, they realise that some secrets were hidden for a reason.

Can the Curio Club solve the mystery before the village's history is lost forever?

A heart-warming adventure about friendship, bravery, and the magic hidden in ordinary things.
