PROGRAM CLOSED
Yearning for some magic to navigate the challenges of moving to a new town and school, a young girl finds herself in the shadowy underground kingdom of Subterra where powerful wizards, magical illusion and brain-twisting riddles are just the beginning. Clever Abigail summons the courage to explore this dark landscape teeming with mysterious creatures and unusual characters. She must rely on her wit and love of science to restore reason and kindness to Subterra and ultimately, find her way back home.
