Timmy is a curious and imaginative 10-year-old boy living in the quaint seaside village of Sandy Cove. His days are filled with exploring tide pools, sketching ships on the horizon, and dreaming of adventures beyond his small town. One sunny afternoon, while helping his elderly neighbor Mrs. Jenkins clean out her attic, Timmy discovers an old, ornate compass tucked away in a dusty chest. The compass is unlike any he has seen before, with intricate engravings and a faint, magical glow.
Inciting Incident:
Captivated by the mysterious compass, Timmy takes it home. That night, as he examines it under the moonlight, the compass needle spins wildly before settling and pointing emphatically toward the north. Suddenly, a soft whisper emanates from the compass, revealing a secret map only he can see. Realizing this is no ordinary compass, Timmy feels a surge of excitement—an adventure is calling!
