Carina Sugden is looking for a moon tree - her dad told her all about them - how they were grown from the seeds taken on the Apollo 14 mission into space, and how magical they are. They were going to find one together, but he passed away before they could. Her mum relocates the family to the Otway Ranges and Carina is even more determined to find a moon tree on her own. She methodically searches the forest behind her house and has a mysterious encounter with a black cockatoo, which makes her realise that there is magic in the forest. So if magic exists, anything is possible, like seeing her dad, one last time…
