A REAL HANDFUL!
Four adventurers – Skye, Bruno, Chara and Li, are sucked through a portal and into ‘The Forest of Hands’. There, they are met by the Protector and are introduced to the microscopic world of the Hidden Reach. In their quest to save the unhealthy-looking Finger Tree, which is covered in germs, they learn they must wash the tree with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. After the tree is properly cleaned, only then does the tree yield a harvest of healthy fruit. The adventurers return home having learnt better handwashing habits.
