Let's find a moment in history that shows Juniper at its very best.

Did you bring the manuscript? It's got everything!

I hope this is it!

A book shop?

It does feel sort of nice in there.

You hate reading.

A party sounds fun to me.

You're all very grounded.

We broke all the rules! Why aren't you mad?!

If they knew that I was coming back to Juniper

they'd never let me out the house again.

I swear I won't tell anyone. Not even Addie.

Wait, our Miriam?

Miriam is Verity Loveday. Why would she lie?

We have found a good news story, and it's actually a really good one.

It's all to do with how Juniper was home to this amazing team

of code breakers during World War II.

Fantastic! But we don't know if it's true.

Oh. I need to, uh, speak to...

..someone. But I haven't... ..haven't had a chance to.

Why not?

I was sort of grounded.

Oh! Grounded?!

Goodness me! What has our precious junior councillor been up to?

Well, we had a party. But by mistake.

I'm sure our councillor has learnt her lesson.

But we do need the theme confirmed, Miss Darrow.

I just need to speak to my source.

Shall we say by the end of the day? Erm... Oh...

Council dismissed. BANGS GAVEL

Great, you're here.

Oh. OK, get this - on page 102,

Miriam writes about a loose floorboard behind the counter

that makes a noise like a frog.

FLOORBOARD CROAKS/ADDIE GASPS

And there's more.

On the low table in the far corner of the shop,

that's where she used to sit and play.

Apparently, there's a mark in the wood that looks like an owl.

Hmm. She used to rub it.

Oh, it's there!

Did you find anything about the mysterious safe in the basement?

Sadly not. That's frustrating.

But if all the other details are right then it feels like

the story about the code breakers must be true.

Frank couldn't find anything in the history books.

Well, it was a secret operation, wasn't it?

True.

The only person who knows for sure is Miriam.

And she's not talking.

The book shop just seems to make her angry.

Or sad. I don't know.

She won't even come in here.

Miriam's complicated,

but she's got a good soul.

We'll get to the bottom of this mystery together.

Time to find out if Juniper's got talent.

I think Mrs Montgomery plays the spoons.

Oh, we can do better than that. We just need to spread the word

and people can sign up for their audition slots here.

Oh, Bonnie! Hi.

Hi. You OK?

Yeah! I'm fine. Now that I'm here.

What happened to your new look, huh?

Oh, erm, it was fun, but I think I prefer being me.

OK. Well, I found this outside.

Ooh!

Oh, great. The dyslexia-friendly books.

I've got someone in mind for these.

Oh, and these need putting somewhere.

Oh.

Thanks. It's from my dad.

My mum's getting a band together. Thinking about auditioning?

No, no, no. It's... It's not my thing.

Should we go talk to Miriam?

Bye. Bye.

No parties, OK?

Book shop's safe with me!

You're back!

Being grounded was a nightmare.

I feel like I missed everything.

I personally quite enjoyed some time away from the world.

Gave me a bit of headspace to work some things through.

Oh, yeah?

Two milkshakes on the house, in honour of your Freedom Day.

Thank you! Sit there?

Yeah.

It's so good to be free.

Being locked inside gets you thinking about ways to escape.

Uni started to look kind of appealing.

Really?

There's this course. Fashion.

Lots of practical stuff. I can kind of see myself doing it.

Keeds, that's lovely!

I know you got busted for having a party, but it was still a fun night.

We'd never have done it if it wasn't for Bonnie.

It was our house, our friends. We didn't exactly stop her.

She pushes.

She's so good at it you don't even know she's doing it.

She's just Bonnie.

And she lies.

I know she was lying to her parents.

I heard you two talking about it.

Her parents don't accept her being autistic.

They don't want her coming to Juniper,

they don't want her seeing me.

Maybe that's for a good reason.

I mean, look at the trouble she's caused.

And that makeover on Addie?

I know that upset you.

It was like she'd taken her over.

Look, I'll handle Bonnie, OK?

I'm not sure that you can.

Welcome to the band auditions, everyone.

HE SINGS OPERATICALLY

Three, four - let's go!

INAUDIBLE

Zzzzz.

This is a song I wrote. It's called Jenna.

SAXOPHONE SQUEAKS No, no...

It's this...

..this reed.

Erm...

HE PLAYS FLOWING MELODY

APPLAUSE

He was great. Just need to find a singer.

We don't have much time, Audrey.

Miriam will help us out. I know it.

Oh, hello, Earnest. Are you really 100 years old?

You must have seen some amazing things.

If only you could talk.

What are you two doing here? Oh! My shopping day is tomorrow.

Hi, Mrs Jensen. Can we come in? We've, erm...

We've got some questions to ask you about the book shop.

I'm busy. Oh, please. It will only take a moment.

BOTH: Yes!

Well, sit down, then.

Sorry.

Come on, out with it!

Oh, right. Yes. Sorry.

Ah, so, it all started when Mr Macintosh asked

if I could find a positive story about Juniper's history.

We looked and looked but couldn't find anything.

But then Bonnie found a copy of your unpublished book.

Bonnie? My book?

We think you're Verity Loveday.

Are you?

So what if I am?

THEY GASP You are amazing!

Your books are so good, Miriam.

And this one...

..is just brilliant.

This was never meant to be read. I must have put it in the wrong box.

We're glad you did. We want to make the council event all about it.

It's a chance to share your amazing story with everyone.

Is it all true, Miriam?

This is not your story to tell!

You stole it!

We found it.

It's in the past, and that's where it will stay!

I do not give my permission!

Miriam...

The book shop's still just as you wrote it.

It's magical, Miriam. Maybe if you just visit it...

Get out.

Get out!

Sorry, Miriam.

DOOR CLOSES

Hey.

Hey.

Everything OK with your mum and dad?

Yeah.

Yeah, I got myself together

and they still think I was at boring Susie's house.

How long are you going to keep this up, Bonnie?

I don't know. Forever.

Look, if you can't talk to your mum and dad,

you can always talk to my mum.

Keeds, seriously...

..I've got this. I'm doing it my way, and it's working.

Trust me.

You know, I'm even thinking of auditioning for the village band.

Are you sure that's a good idea? After what happened at school.

Well, I was just... I was just joking.

Got to get back to the safe.

Bess, Founder's Day dance practise!

ON LAPTOP: Now you've learnt the steps... Coming!

..it's time to put them into practise.

Finally, with the kids out the house, we can get back to this.

Was it start on the left or start on the right?

One, two, three, four...

Ow! Ah!

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Turn her off.

If you'd started on the right foot, it would have been OK!

I thought it was start on the left foot?

It is start on the left foot. The leader starts on the left foot.

You just said right.

I meant right as in correct!

Actually, that...that does make sense.

Mrs Jensen was so upset.

I feel terrible, and we definitely can't use her story.

I'm sorry, Addie.

I'm supposed to update Mr Macintosh by the end of the day.

Look, the event can still go ahead. Mum's getting the band together.

There will be cakes. It can just be like the usual Founder's Day.

I didn't want that!

I wanted something good and something positive.

And I just feel like Juniper has defeated me.

FAINT SINGING

# Sounds of the rude world

# Heard in the day

# Lull... #

I know you're there, Jaws.

You have a beautiful voice, Bonnie.

Thank you. You could be a singer.

My parents hate me singing.

That's awful.

They have their reasons.

You look sad, Jaws. What's up?

I've upset Miriam.

And I couldn't find a good news story for the council event.

You're too hard on yourself.

None of these things are your problem, Addie.

Could you maybe sing that song again?

It sort of helped.

Felt right.

Yeah, sure.

# Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me

# Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee... #

# Gone are the cares of life's busy throng

# Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me

# Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me. #

Miriam.

Oh.

I think I owe you two an apology.

And an explanation.

There's a problem with stories.

They have to come to an end.

And this one didn't end well...

..for me.

After I uncovered Dorothy's operation, I was sworn to secrecy.

You mustn't tell a soul what you've seen, Miriam.

Can you promise me that?

And it's not just for me.

It's for the entire country.

I kept that secret.

I continued to visit the book shop, just like always.

I learned to read here.

I learned to count with Earnest.

Four legs. And a head.

Dorothy used to leave me all sorts of trails and treasure hunts.

Umbrella!

Little codes to crack.

But when Dorothy went down to the basement,

she went to a secret, dangerous world.

Everything would have been fine but for my mother.

She never understood why I loved books so much.

She couldn't see why I needed to come here.

How happy it made me.

My mother said Dorothy was a troublemaker.

And sure enough, the rumours soon spread,

bringing eyes on her that she really didn't need.

Then one day I opened my front door to find Earnest in a box,

with this note...

"Keep Earnest safe."

The next morning, I went straight to the book shop.

But it was...closed.

And it never opened again.

No explanation, no goodbye, nothing.

Oh, Miriam.

Just this note, telling me to keep Earnest safe.

Same handwriting.

My love for the book shop put Dorothy in danger.

The place I loved most in the world had gone forever

and it was all my fault.

You were just a kid.

So? You're just a kid and look at the trouble you cause.

I did what I was told. I kept Earnest safe.

And I never left Juniper. I never saw the world.

There's still time.

Hardly.

I let guilt hold me back.

Follow your dreams, girls.

All we have is now.

Thank you for sharing, Miriam.

I can totally understand why it wouldn't be right to use your story.

It was all so long ago.

Of course.

But you're right. Dorothy was so brilliant and brave.

She should be celebrated. But you...

The event can go ahead.

You can use my story.

On one condition...

..that this young lady sings that beautiful song.

Oh!

My bad. My bad. One sec...

One, two, three, four.

Interesting.

We always seem to end up on the floor.

It would probably help if you looked at each other rather than your feet.

Start again.

OK. Look at each other.

Dad... Dad, what are you doing with your hands?

Well, the teacher says I need a frame.

Around Mum! Hold her.

Hi.

LAUGHTER

One, two...

OK.

And a-one, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. Yay! THEY LAUGH

Who knew all you needed was two meddling teenage girls?

Ah! We make a good team!

Where's Addie?

At a rave.

I'm just kidding!

She's sorting out the council event. It's coming together.

Good.

I can't wait to watch you two dance together.

Hmm. Yeah. More practise, more practise. Go on, go again.

And again.

Hey.

Hi.

Addie's at the village hall. Did you want something?

Yeah, I saw some books in the window.

I'm not much of a reader but they look...

..helpful.

Addie ordered them. Thought they might be someone's cup of tea.

There's more just there.

Thanks.

Are you going to New York?

Big question.

My dad wants me to move there with him.

If I had the chance to go to New York, you could not keep me

off that plane. All those art galleries.

I saw this ad for an incredible Lina Iris Viktor exhibition.

You know who Lina Iris Viktor is?

Yeah! I saw some of her sculptures when I went to London last summer.

Yeah, I... I don't know if I could leave my mum.

She'd be all alone. I worry about her.

Same.

My mum's been so stressed out about the business lately.

Keeps going on about Addie trying to steal this place from her.

Mrs Jensen said that we should follow our dreams.

Mrs Jensen speaks a lot of sense.

It's on the house.

Oh, thank you.

Enjoy your new book.

Enjoy New York.

Oh, I haven't decided...

I reckon you have.

That was great!

Sounded pretty good!

Not bad! Very tight.

Shame we didn't find a singer.

Hi.

Where did you come from?

That door. Are the auditions over?

Not necessarily.

What do you play?

Oh, I'm... I'm a singer.

Kind of.

Do you know Wayfaring Stranger?

Wayfaring Stranger. Uh...

I think I do. Great!

OK.

Good news - we've found an event theme.

Juniper At War.

A council event dedicated to the incredible codebreakers of Juniper.

Oh, fantastic, Miss Darrow! I knew you could do it.

Thank you.

I take it your source gave it the OK?

I did indeed.

It's a secret I've kept to myself for too long.

Would you like to hear another secret?

Always.

Verity Loveday lives in this very village.

Goodness me. You must introduce me.

She's my absolute favourite author.

I have a particular passion for The Lake Of Longing.

Well, I'm glad someone liked it.

HE GASPS

What a surprise! FRANK PLAYS PIANO

# I am a poor wayfaring stranger

# While journeying through this world of woe

# And there's no sickness, no toil, nor danger

# In that bright land to which I go

# I'm going there to see my father

# I'm going there, no more to roam

# I'm only go, going over Jordan

# I'm only go, going over home. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, I think we've found our singer - Bonnie Bridges!

Yes! Woo! All we need now is a name.

How about The Juniper Codebreakers?

I love it!

OK, gang, let's run through the set again

with our new lead singer.

OK? Yeah.

Hey, Jaws.

Hey. You OK?

I haven't sung in front of people in a long time.

Yeah?

Room didn't spin, and I wasn't sick.

So...thank you.

Your parents would be proud.

Doubtful. But they won't be here anyway, so...

As soon as I started singing, it was like a puzzle piece

falling into place.

What I'm trying to say, Addie, is that you win.

I win? You win.

Juniper is good. It's a good place

and it's helped me more than you could know.

So... OK.

Hi. Hello.

"Bonnie is amazing, please come."

That's a big smile. What are you doing?

Making something right.

Now Bonnie's parents will see how amazing she is.
