Surapan and the Dark Forest

A young boy, Surapan, loses his football into the Dark Forest. All the village is afraid of the forest. It is full of Spirits. Surapan conquers his fear and goes into the forest alone to find his ball. Strange things happen there. Things are not what they seem. A flower that can understand. A tree that speaks, and a magic owl, all help him find his ball. He thinks his problems are over.
Unfortunately, arriving back in his home, Surapan finds that things are even stranger than he thought while in the forest. Both his parents are now terrified of him. They can hear him, but cannot see him. What has happened to him?
Surapan has to find a way to resolve his situation.
On the advice of his grandmother, Surapan has to be brave and go back into the forest. Will he find the answer there, or will the spirits of the Dark Forest give him even more problems?
