The Troll Door, the Trunk & the Compass is about five siblings who spend the summer with their aunt on the farm. There are lots of fun farm experiences for the kids, who are just thrilled to be there. Their aunt has had a hard time for about six months because her fiancé disappeared (literally). She needs the children to distract her from her problem.
Then Alexander explores in the attic and finds an old trunk. Inside the trunk is a diary from a scientist who lived in the house over twenty years before. In addition to the diary is a compass that the scientist invented. The compass has dials for different years and different worlds. Alexander tries it, travels back in time and meets the scientist. Then together they set off to try to rescue his aunt’s fiancé from another world, if it is not too late.
