Trinkett and the Legend of the Locket

Have you ever wondered about what's beyond that which you can easily see? There is a hidden world behind the furniture, beneath the floorboards, between the walls - a world in which all creatures, especially small ones, can become great. In this world, Trinket is an unlikely hero. She doesn't fit the typical hero model - she's petite, a little too pretty, and quite precocious. Trinkett's explorations of the bric-a-brac left behind by others always leads her to finding something useful for her father's thrift shop. On Trinkett's latest mission she discovers something amazing; something she thinks is special. Little does she realize how truly special it is. Not only does she discover a lost treasure, she finds herself, her courage, and her ability to put others' needs first.


Have you ever found something like that?
