From the outside, 5 Brocklehurst Grove looks like an ordinary house - the windows are always clean, and the garden well tended. And from the inside, to hear the voices of the inhabitants, the Mennym family, you would think they were a perfectly ordinary family, too. But you'd be wrong, for the Mennyms are far from ordinary. The whole family shares an astonishing secret behind which it's hidden for forty years; a secret to which nobody has ever come close - until perhaps, now. When a letter arrives from Australia, the whole family is plunged into fear that, for the first time, their secret is about to be exposed . . .

Pilbeam, the Mennyms' eternal teenager, is in a rebellious mood. One fateful night, Pilbeam throws caution to the wind and goes out to the theatre - and in doing so threatens her own safety and the very existence of her whole, rag doll family.

Like Patrick in Space Race and Matthew and Alison in Earthborn, Steven is a visitor from Ormingat, living on Earth with his family for a designated number of years.

Die Mennyms hinterfragen ihre Sterblichkeit, nachdem Sir Magnus ihr Ende prophezeit. Doch bevor sie darüber nachdenken können, steht ein neues Problem an: Die Erben der Villa im Brocklehurst Grove fordern Sir Magnus' Geburtsurkunde.

Der Brocklehurst Grove ist in Gefahr. Die Villen sollen einer Schnellstraße weichen. Für die Mennyms bedeutet das, daß sie sich einem Menschen anvertrauen müssen, wenn sie ihre Existenz nicht aufs Spiel setzen wollen ...

Die Mennyms haben ihr Geheimnis bewahrt und dürfen bei ihren Abenteuern unter Menschen endlich als Puppen auftreten, ohne sich als Menschen ausgeben zu müssen.

The Mennyms, a family of life-size rag dolls, have always live with danger, ever since their maker Kate Penshaw instilled in them an indomitable life force. That life force carried them through perils of many kinds and helped them survive the greatest danger of all-the ever-present fear of discovery by the outside world. Then suddenly that life force left them, all except Soobie, the lone blue Mennym. Now, as the curtain prepares to rise for the fifth and final dramatic act in the series about the miraculous Mennyms, the rest of the family is waking up-but to what kind of life?
