• Synopsis

  While playing in the attic one day, Grace finds an old hat. But this hat was not just any old hat - in fact it wanted to play with Grace. Together they went on adventures to the four corners of the world. One day however Grace learns that a neighbour has brought the hat to the clothes bank. She is distraught. She goes to the clothes bank herself to fish it out but ends up falling in. She discovers a magical world inside. Taking direction from the characters she meets, she overcomes all kinds of obstacles; she follows in the tracks of the hat to the place where all hats go to rest - Hat Hollow. In Hat Hollow she finds that she can talk to the previous owners of the hats. When she finds her own hat, she can now find out who owned it before her. To her surprise it belonged to her Great Travelling Aunt Peg who was an 'adventurer extraordinaire.' She must leave as children are not allowed in clothes banks and she is about to be caught.
