Channel Hoppers (Hilary, 2020)

Ellie Atkins doesn’t watch TV and hasn’t seen a film since she was 10 so getting thrown in a bunch of Fictional Worlds isn’t exactly her idea of fun. From Wizards to Jedi, Time Travellers to Princesses and the Network Producer that wants to take them all off the air, Ellie could think of better ways to catch up on Pop Culture.
