Imaginative Narrative Introduction
The Mangrove Door
On the first morning of the holidays, Tahlia followed a trail of silver footprints through the mangroves. They stopped at a tree trunk she had passed a hundred times. A narrow blue door stood in its bark, no taller than her knee. Tahlia tapped twice. The door swung open, and warm air smelling of cinnamon curled around her ankles. Beyond it, a staircase spiralled down into a sky full of stars. Somewhere below, a small voice called, “Please hurry. The tide is carrying our moon away!” Tahlia glanced back at the sunlit path. Then she stepped through.
