    When Clara discovers a mysterious journal in her Grammie’s attic a new and exciting world and time opens up to her. Innocently, Clara recites the incantation she finds on a hand drawn map, thinking what’s the worse that could happen. That is when she meets, Captain Melvin Claudius Flump, a dashing British Navel Officer and time traveler.
    In their first adventure, the Captain whisks Clara off to Victorian Era Africa for a safari. The electricity between Clara and the Captain is palpable. What amazing things will she encounter, is there a romance brewing between them and can Clara keep it all a secrete from her Grammie?
