The note had been in the drawer for years, and today was the day somebody finally read it.
A folded note and an old key on a kitchen table, with three people leaning over them.

A story for three: you'll add Mum's and Dad's photos as well as your child's - all three appear on every page, and the prices above include everyone in the book.
These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

The note had been in the drawer for years, and today was the day somebody finally read it.
A folded note and an old key on a kitchen table, with three people leaning over them.

One held the lantern, one read the riddle, and your child spotted the thing everybody else had walked straight past.
Everybody searching a different corner of the same room, and one of them getting warm.

The key fitted. your child turned it alone, and the room on the other side was worth every wrong turn.
The last door, with only one person small enough to reach what is behind it.
These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.
The Family Quest puts the whole household in the book: you add photos of both parents, and everyone helps with the hunt. It is a treasure story where the adults are genuinely useful rather than decorative, and the last door is one only your child can open. Bought for birthdays and for holidays.
Four to eight. It needs a child who can follow a chain of clues across chapters, which is usually five or six. Younger children enjoy the rummaging and miss the structure. Reading level chosen at setup, and the higher setting keeps the clues genuinely solvable rather than merely decorative.
For the Levi family, who once spent an entire Saturday on a treasure hunt indoors.
If you have given this one to a child, we would like to hear how it landed. Send it to shushanran@gmail.com and we will add it here.

The Family Quest is written for ages 4-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.
You upload a photo of your child, one of Mum and one of Dad. Each becomes an illustrated character - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and they stay recognizable together across all 12 chapters. Your child's name, age and a dedication are woven in too.
Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $16.90, softcover $44.90 and hardcover $49.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.
Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
