The Last Mimzy

I love fantasy. Magical places and things cause my imagination to soar. I like knights, and dragons, and crystals, and magic. Elves, and little folk, fairies, and unicorns. Worlds inside and worlds without. I guess that’s why I am such a movie buff and have such wide tastes. It is all delving into worlds and situations that are not mine. Even the ones based on true stories, or documentaries take me to places that are outside my day to day routine. Take me under the sea and show me the creatures that live there. It is a world away from my own. I can learn, daydream, explore and fantasize.
The Last Mimzy did not disappoint me.

In a far far future, in what looks to be an idyllic world, the story  of their past  is shown to the children. (People have developed telepathic abilities.) In an  earlier age they had lost something that only could be found in their most remote past and a mimzy was sent, along with "instructions" on sending her back.  This had been done several times before without success. It was the last time they would be able to try before their world would die. They can now only wait and see if this time it comes back with their salvation.

Noah, a typical older brother, and tenderhearted little Emma find an odd shaped box on the beach. When they open it several different items appear. One of them is Mimzy, who looks to me like a stuffed rabbit. Emma, being of the age that stuffies are carried around, latches right on to her.  But Mimzy is magical and talks to Emma.

The other items in the box are "magical" too. Noah develops new abilities with a scientific bent, and Emma is able to manipulate things. She can spin the crystals and make her arm disappear.

Noah's new gifting in science is first viewed by all who know him as him coming into his own at last. His sister is already acknowledged as a genius, so it just stands to reason that he would have brains too.  He also starts to create Mandalas, symbols from ancient times, from out of the blue.

His parents and his teacher are mystified at the change in him. The teacher, knowing something of Hindu mysticism and mandalas helps search for answers. But as things progress, fear for the children's safety take hold. The government becomes involved, and when the kids escape all bets are off.

Go with them on their journey to discover how they can help the last Mimzy.
