Her wish is answered one day in the form of Vincent Fogg, a young, capricious time traveller that recruits Viola on a whim.

Mimi Jeremy-Irons prefers to wander around the city instead of going to school. She thinks it'll teach her more in life than anything else, and nobody disagrees. That is, until she meets a very unusual boy named Siegfried Aldwinkle. He takes her to a place called London Tower, and from there, places she could never begin to imagine. It teaches her what reality is for us is completely different for someone else, and our modern and progressive world is nothing in comparison to others. Mimi finds that contrary to what everyone says, that though love may be strong, hate, envy, and revenge are much stronger. The worlds are falling apart. She needs to bind the universe together eternally, or create the ruin of all.

A Gifted child is truly an enigma. People either love them or hate them, but in the end, all are fascinated by them. This story is about the life of two very Gifted girls named Lucille Baudelaire and Jane Penderwick, who have many secrets and desires that are too complicated to be explained. Their lives are a constant source of turmoil and chaos, but in the end, all will be well, we hope. They are gifted, not only intellectually, but also entwined in the struggles of romantic and social giftedness. Jane and Lucille triumph and fail against a sea of storms, such as other girls (if you can even call it a girl), males, the all-time-favourite of bullying, social withdrawal, love and possession, and more. Because everyone goes through that at some time, don't they?
