The Goodwin Chronicles: Legends of Traumwelt

The Goodwin Chronicles is the story of five siblings who are forced to move from London to a country home in the West Midlands because their father, a wildly successful author, is having problems with overeager fans.

The children are not happy with the move, and are quite displeased with their father, but their world gets turned upside down when twin brothers James and Addison disappear from their beds in the middle of the night. The eldest child, Elizabeth, is alerted to their disappearance by an owl who seems to understand English. She gathers her two remaining brothers, Isaac and Daniel, and the trio head out into the walled garden to look for the twins, determined to find them before any of them gets in trouble with their parents.

What they find in the garden is a portal to a fantasy world called Traumwelt that bears an uncanny similarity to their father's novel. Elizabeth, Isaac, and Daniel set off on a quest to find the twins while James and Addison have their own adventure following a pair of goblins to a dark castle, seeking a way home. Along the way, the children all learn that they have some amazing abilities, and before the end of their tale they realize that their father is more than he seems.
