Picture Magic Farm

While visiting a farm, two children encounter many animals with their babies.

Ben and his sisters had no idea that two teenagers trespassed onto their property. The intruders were mesmerized when they saw Bens younger sister ordering the birds and ducks to fly her to the pond. These flying creatures grabbed her clothes with their beaks and bills and elevated her high up in the air. Could this place be haunted? the teens wondered. How do the children get these animals to obey them? How was this girl able to get the birds and ducks to lift her up into the air and fly away with her? After having sworn the children to secrecy, Uncle Dave showed them his underground laboratories. He explained how snow, rain, and hail are formed. The siblings had fun playing in the labs. They made snow people in the Snow Lab and they experienced zero gravity in the Zero Gravity Lab. The intruders discovered the secret labs and managed to sneak in. They almost froze in the Snow Lab and nearly drowned when a storm developed in the Ocean Lab. Why is there snow, a beach, an ocean, and a real tropical rain forest in Uncle Daves basement? The answer to these questions, plus many educational and moral lessons can all be discovered in this unique place called Magic Farm.

With the magic of Fortune's Farm behind her, will Isabell be strong enough to bring back the sun and stop the despicable Mr. Supreme?
