Неужели это дверь в другой мир?

Фея реки, которая однажды ей помогла, теперь сама умоляет о помощи. Разумеется, Эмили не может оставить подругу в беде. И как поступить? Рассказать родителям или попробовать справиться самой?

Любая лестница или дверь в доме Эмили может привести в другой мир, так что гостей зовут редко. А тут у Лори, старшей сестры девочки, завелся поклонник, который очень любит бывать у них дома. Поэтому, когда он приходит, Эмили всегда за ним следит. Однажды сестра и ее поклонник исчезли! Девочка бросилась в ту комнату, где они были, но нашла там только раскрытый старый сундук.
