Jub lives amongst the trees, in a forest where animals are her friends. She closely guards the secret to all the happy endings to all the stories in the world… One night, something terrible happens… Can Jub find the happy endings to restore peaceful nights to the world once more?

“.. she realised there was only one thing to do. She switched off the lights and closed the door behind her… Hush and listen! The owl is hooting in the trees by the river.”
