Can Harper solve the mystery of her missing mother, or will she stay stuck in the past forever?

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

After Harper’s brother Morris has a dream about their mother, Harper realises her mum is alive, somewhere in the past. If she can use the Issue 42 Wollemi Bed to bring her mother home, could this be her chance to have a normal family?

Harper searches for clues in her mother’s greenhouse and at her old office at State Museum. She can’t work out why she keeps waking up in a random organ-building workshop with a pernickety girl called Constance Stone. When she’s out of leads, can Harper swallow her pride and ask for help?

And if she ever finds her mum, can Harper convince her to come home?
