The story

Accessora believes more is more when it comes to accessories, and her gold bowtie goes everywhere with her. When the Screener twins won't put down their tablets for her fashion show, she swipes one and swipes herself inside.

She lands on a green lawn among grand old buildings in Cambridge, England, where every sigh she makes drops a stone into the water and a river by a covered stone bridge starts spelling out messages.

The real place: Cambridge

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

  1. 1Cambridge's Bridge of Sighs is a covered stone bridge with windows that crosses the River Cam at St John's College.
  2. 2It was built almost 200 years ago and named after the famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy.
  3. 3People float under it in punts, flat boats that you push along with a long pole.
