With her adventurous brother Navin, and worrying mother Karen tagging along, Em soon finds that her great-grandfather held many secrets like being a master robot builder, owning a walking house in another world, or the ever-so-important being the owner of a mysterious and powerful magic amulet. The Hayes are suddenly pulled into a brilliantly illustrated world influenced by both sci-fi and fantasy. In addition to adventure, themes of friendship and family become central to the plot as Navin, Karen, and a few robot buddies assist Em in her role as hero in this unknown world.
