Oh, I didn't order that.

I know.
I thought you could do with a treat.

A treat would be a two-week trip
to Hawaii.

-Hawaii's overrated, but Shangri-La…
-Shangri-La is a myth.

Are you kidding? The skiing is…

Kyra.

Oh, hi, Peter. This is Darra.

Hi. Sorry to interrupt,
but I need to speak to Kyra.

-Later.
-[laughs nervously]

Did you get my email?

-Yeah, but I haven't opened it yet.
-Open it.

Aren't you a little young
to be buying property?

My Uncle Terry is selling this house.

Last week, a family took a look
and their son vanished.

He returned after a couple of hours saying
that he'd been teleported to a beach.

You know what kids are like.
They make stuff up.

True and the nearest beach
is at least an hour away.

But here's the kicker.
The kid's shoes were full of sand.

Even you have to admit that's strange.

I asked Uncle Terry
if I could take a look.

-He said I can go round today.
-Peter…

I know you think I'm nuts.
I really think this could be something.

Do you want to come with me?

Mm.

Why do I even both asking?
There couldn't be anything there

because Kyra Glen doesn't believe
in spooky stuff or magic.

-Okay. I'll come.
-Really?

I like to keep an open mind.

-Music to my ears! Let's go.
-[phone rings]

What, Dad?

I delivered them six baguettes.
Why can't they make up their minds?

All right. I'm coming.

I have to make a delivery.
See you back here?

Mm-hm.

-Your friend's in a hurry. Problem?
-Peter thinks he's found a haunted house.

I said I'd go with him and check it out.

Does this look like
a haunted house to you?

-Your friend might be right.
-What?

We should take a look.

-Excuse me.
-Yes?

-Could you move? You're in my way.
-I'm not finished here.

-You've been here a while.
-I wasn't aware there was a time limit.

Ladder, move.

-[Ladder creaks]
-Ladder, stay.

-[Ladder creaks]
-How long are you going to be?

As long as I need to be.

[Kyra] Did somebody you know live here?

Edward Boynton,
the architect who designed the Library.

I met him when my parents had him round
for dinner. Talented guy.

Elf, obviously.

But the Library's awesome
and this house… isn't.

Our world's hidden in plain sight.
It's better to keep things… low key.

What's supposed to have happened here?

-Ladder, come here, please.
-[Ladder creaks]

-Hey! I wasn't finished!
-Tough.

Ladder, come back.

[Ladder creaks]

-Ladder, here.
-[Ladder creaks]

-[Imogen] Ladder! Come here!
-[Ladder creaks]

-Be careful, Ladder is quite sensitive.
-How can a lump of wood be sensitive?

[Kyra] Nothing inside.

The architect was clever.

We could be looking at something magical
and we'd never even know.

The boy said he ended up on a beach.
I think I'd know if I saw a beach.

-You check down the side?
-Uh-huh.

-Anything?
-Not yet.

There's nothing here.

[Kyra] Any luck?

Darra?

Aren't you a bit old
to be playing hide-and-seek?

Uh…

Darra?

-Oof! I was wondering when you'd get here.
-[both laugh]

[Kyra] Where are we?

Tell me if I'm wrong…
but I think it's a beach.

The beach where that boy went?

That's the portal we just came through.
He must have found it, too.

I bet he freaked out.
We should report it to the DMI.

Can't have an open portal around
for people to fall through.

I'll call Peter
and tell him there's nothing there.

No signal.

So, what's… what's the deal with,
uh, Peter?

Is he your boyfriend?

Uh, Peter and I grew up together.

He's like a brother except I don't
have to share a bathroom with him.

Where's the portal gone?

It should be right here.

It's not.

How are we going to get back?

-Ladder, here!
-[Ladder creaks]

No, Ladder. Here, please.

-[Imogen] Here.
-Here!

-Here!
-[Ladder creaking]

-Stop it! You're confusing the poor thing.
-It's a ladder. How can it get confused?

-Ladder, come here!
-[Ladder creaking]

[thuds and clatters]

-[Lily] That didn't sound good.
-It's your fault. You both upset Ladder.

[Ruksy sighs]

[creaking weakly]

I warned you. You really upset it.
It's all right, Ladder.

-We better clean this up.
-Have fun.

-You did this, too.
-You started it.

-I did not.
-Enough!

I'm going to get a juice
and when I get back,

-you better have this cleared up or else.
-Or else what?

I've read a lot of these books
so I know a lot of stuff,

stuff you've never heard of,
stuff you don't want to have heard of!

Do I make myself clear?

-She can be scary.
-Mm, let's get this done.

-We can't be trapped. That boy got out.
-Relax. We can jump.

Whoa!

Uh, I'm assuming
you didn't mean to do that. [laughs]

Well, this place is a magical construct.
The rules of magic must be different.

[chuckles]

-The architect built this?
-Like I said, a talented guy.

Any idea where that portal went?

If they've been in place too long,
they can become unstable,

appear and disappear at random.

-So, it might come back?
-Or it might not.

We should look for another way out.

Kyra, where are you? I'm ready to go.
Call me.

-[Ruksy] Oh!
-I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

Fine.

Don't I know you?

Ah, hot dog boy, from the basketball game.
You had mustard on your chin.

Fashion choice, obviously.
It's all the rage.

-Dragonflies or Gazelles?
-What?

-Which team were you supporting?
-Oh, uh… Dragonflies.

-Great win, eh?
-Yeah. [laughs]

-So, do you know Kyra Glen?
-Yes.

Have you seen her?
She was meant to meet me here.

No.

We were meant to check out
this haunted house.

Of course, it's not really haunted.
Only an idiot would think that.

But something odd did happen there.

I'd better get going.
Who knows? Might want to buy it.

Kidding. Go, Dragonflies.

Wait! Um, we should…
We should go together.

Why?

Because I… I like looking at houses.
It's my hobby.

-Looking at houses?
-Is something wrong with that?

No, no, it's just… unusual.

-I'm Peter.
-Ruksy.

[creaking]

[rumbles and creaks loudly]

[hums]

[rock-'n'-roll music plays]

[Kyra] Why would the architect
build a beach?

[Darra] Well, according to my dad,
he was a celebrity.

He designed the DMI building, too,
and one day, he dropped out of sight.

So, where is he now?

Good question. Once the Library was built,
he was never seen again.

-Hey!
-Kyra…

Maybe he's still here. Hello!

Give it up. Look, he's gone.
There's nothing here.

You were saying?

[Darra] Mr. Boynton?

-What are you doing?
-Going in.

What if he's, you know, dead
and his body is in there?

-You're not scared, are you?
-Well, I'm just… cautious.

[door hinges creaks]

[Darra gasps]

I hate spiders.

These are drawings of the Library.

This must be where he designed it.

-Is that him?
-[Darra] Yeah.

I wonder what he's so happy about.

[Kyra] Is that…?

[chuckles] Cute mermaid.
No wonder he's smiling.

[chuckles]

So, when I heard this kid disappeared,

I'm thinking,
maybe he fell into a parallel universe.

-Have you heard about that stuff?
-You mean like the Multiverse?

You know about it?

[laughs] Why are you surprised?

No reason. It's just unusual
to find someone who knows about it.

-I mean, unusual in a good way.
-[giggles]

It looks pretty ordinary to me.

Appearances can be deceiving.
We should take a look.

That's trespassing!

My uncle is the real estate agent.
He said it was okay. Come on.

Well, nothing strange here. We should go.

-Aha!
-What?

-[Peter] Sand.
-What's so interesting about sand?

Uncle Terry said
that the kid who disappeared

came back with sand in his shoes.
How do you explain that?

There was a sand pit here?
Come on. Let's go.

I suppose.

[sighs] I was sure there'd be
something here.

-Clearly, I'm nuts after…
-Ow!

-What's wrong?
-I… twisted my ankle.

-Are you okay?
-I think so.

-Can you help me out to the street?
-Sure. This place is a bust.

[rock-'n'-roll music playing]

Come on, Imogen.

Fine. You call that dancing?

-[Kyra] No one's been here for ages.
-Maybe he took off with the mermaid.

We should check the beach.

[gasps]

[whimpers] Darra!

Darra!

You okay?

-That drawing…
-What about it?

I touched it
and then I was in the Library.

You mean, you imagined
you were in the Library.

No, I was there.
I could see Lily and Imogen.

I could see them but they couldn't see me.
How is that possible?

Some kind of magical connection maybe.

Can you do it again?

-I don't know.
-Try.

[gasps]

They're still dancing.

My sister is dancing?
Are you sure that's her?

She's not bad either.

What do you think it means?

You know what? You might have
just found us a way out of here.

Sure you're okay?

It's fine. I just must have stepped on it
the wrong way.

Sorry to drag you off
on a wild goose chase.

It's okay. Sorry you didn't find anything.

It's cool.

Thanks for coming.

I guess I'll see you around.

I guess. [laughs]

Try and attract their attention.
Call their names.

[Kyra's] Lily! [echoes]

Imogen!

[Kyra] Lily! [echoes]

Ladder, move!

[Ladder creaks]

It's no good. They can't hear me.

-So much for that plan.
-But I think Ladder did.

If Ladder could talk,
it could tell them where we are.

Darra, you're a genius.

I could have told you that. [laughs]

How do you mean?

-[rock-'n'-roll music playing]
-[Ladder creaking]

[music stops]

[Ruksy laughs]

[Ruksy] Good job.

-Thanks.
-You took your time.

I ran into Kyra's friend Peter
at the café

and guess what,
we went to the architect's house.

-You didn't.
-How did you know it was his house?

I don't only read books about magic,
you know.

What did his house look like?
I bet it was big.

Small, actually but there was a portal
in the back yard.

[Ladder creaking]

What's Ladder doing?

Um, Ladder…

-Aisle 75!
-[Ladder creaks]

Shelf three.

-You didn't upset it again, did you?
-No.

Aisle… 26.

[Kyra] No, wait. Uh…

[Ladder creaking]

What?

I've got movement control.

[Ladder creaks]

Ladder, what are you doing?

[gasps]

[pants]

-You okay?
-[pants] Bit dizzy.

-Come on. Let's get some fresh air.
-Okay. [pants]

[Ladder creaking]

[Imogen] A book on Boynton,
a book on ships,

a book on beaches, and a book on houses.
What does this mean?

Maybe the books are wrongly shelved
and Ladder didn't like it.

[Ruksy] Boynton, the architect.

Funny, I was just at his house.

The boy had sand in his shoes.

The books are a message.

Architect, house, beach….

and that flag on the ship, it means help.

Someone's trying to tell us
they're at the architect's house.

Kyra, you said Peter couldn't find her.

He also said the boy who visited the house
found a beach… and now Kyra's on it.

How is that possible?

Through the portal I saw
and she needs help to get back.

That is so clever.

How did Kyra do this?

[Imogen] Where's this portal?

-It's gone.
-How will we get Kyra back?

We need to look for magical residue.

[Kyra] How will we get out?

[Darra] If you had to be stuck somewhere,
this place isn't so bad.

Dad lost Mum. If he loses me too,
it'll be the end of him.

Don't worry. We'll work it out.

-There it is! It's almost gone.
-We need to re-energize it.

What if they don't get it?

Then we've got a beach house with
a million dollar view we didn't pay for.

[Kyra chuckles]

[Ruksy's voice echoes] Kyra!

Ruksy!

We're here!

Hurry before it closes!

[giggles]

It's okay, Lily. We're fine.

-You all right?
-Of course. [exhales deeply]

-Wasn't worried for a moment.
-You're such a liar.

[Kyra] Even though I wasn't
in the Library,

I could make Ladder pull out the books
that I wanted.

How is that possible?

It's a mystery I'll have to admit.

Did you notice anything in the shack?
Any peculiar objects?

None. Has anyone else ever done this?

Not to my knowledge, but I'll check.
The main thing is that you're safe.

But in future, don't go poking your nose
into places you don't understand.

You'd look unsightly without one.

Has anyone every told you you're funny?

Yes, but they were joking.

[laughs nervously]

-[Darra] Lucky your message got through.
-Imagine if we'd been stuck on that beach.

We would have driven each other nuts.

Total disaster, for sure.
