Scarlett and her friends Herpshnovel Wergantsner, Honeyfelt Gobblespoon, Myrtalopine Fossilgainer, Pumpeed Rattlehouser, and Organtort Pompaloop are all about to save their village from the most evil and vial Gangletreens. Her parents are there with her as well. The Gangletreens have joined forces with the equally treacherous Wolfbriar; their sole purpose is to destroy the Worsop trees that create the rainbows.

Scarlett will then have to remove the very top branch, fashion this branch into a magical sword, then defeat Volcarn, the leader of the Gangletreens.

Chapter 1

Scarlett Saves a Rainbow

Scarlett’s eyes became heavy, and she could hardly keep them open. She promised herself at first light she would make it to the worsop trees to watch the creation of the rainbows. Scarlett wanted to see for herself the birth of the rainbows. Since she was a very little girl, she had been told it was one of the most beautiful sights ever to behold, and Scarlett was determined that, tomorrow morning, she would finally do it.

In what seemed like seconds later, Scarlett opened her eyes slowly, rubbed them gently, yawned, and realized with a start that the sun was nearly above Henwood Mountain.

The worsop trees are very brightly coloured magical trees. Their branches layer on top of each other. Starting from the top, they are red—the brightest red you have ever seen. It is a red that has a deep, fiery glow. It sparkles more brightly and has a lustre more robust than the finest of rubies. The next layer of branches is orange—an orange so rich and full, it looks like you can dip your finger into it and taste it. Just like you do when your mum bakes a cake and lets you lick the bowl. Beneath the orange branches are yellow branches. This yellow is so intense, it looks like it could lend the sun some colour and still have enough yellow left to make you squint if you catch a glimpse of it. Under the yellow is a layer of dazzling green. It is the greenest of greens—a colour so strong, you could walk on it. Blue is the next layer. It is the colour of an ocean filled with the deepest blue sapphires. Next, there is a layer of indigo. Why this colour didn’t really stand out like the others, no one really knows. It is like it couldn’t make up its mind if it wanted to be red or blue. Most people feel sorry for indigo because it doesn’t really make a statement like the others. Finally, the bottom branches are violet. This colour is like the reddest rubies and the bluest sapphires mixed together. The colour is so vibrant and has
