Tag along with Thomas and Lily as they stumble upon the great mystery of the Pacific Northwest. The story is inspired by the indigenous oral history of the Sto:lo Nation and presented with charming and humorous narration. The 24 fun-filled pages are littered with beautiful interactive illustrations and endearing characters. As the narrator tells the story, you and your child are able to follow along with the highlighted words. The app includes both touch and tilt interactions, and English, Spanish, French, and original Halq'eméylem language support.

Bullets of different colors will come flying out of launchers. You must guide them across the levels and into their respective goals using the limited amount of barriers and portals you have available to you.
