The room was full of moon shadows and dancing light. But it was the wall around the window that Lucy couldn't stop staring at, the one with the painting of Spring. It was as bright as a sunny day and the tiny yellow flowers that covered the fields were moving, as if a breeze had blown through the painting and set all the petals dancing. Then she heard the voice again. It sounded like a child's voice coming out of the painting. She looked again and in the distance, on the far side of the painted valley she could see the tiny figure of a girl. And the girl was waving, beckoning to Lucy and calling her name.

Lucy McKenzie can walk through walls.

After her sister's terrible accident, Lucy is sent to stay with her aunt in an old house in a hidden valley. At first, Lucy is lonely and scared. But one hot, dark night, Lucy hears a voice calling to her from deep inside one of the pictures painted straight on to the wall of the dining room. On the other side, Lucy meets three children who will change her life forever. In the painted world, April, Tom and the wild Jimmy Tiger introduce Lucy to a world of adventure. Racing horses through the bush, swimming in fast flowing rivers, battling bushfires and unearthing long forgotten secrets, Lucy discovers her true strength and a friendship that will last a lifetime.
