The Spectral Sprouts:
The Mystery of The Whispering Portraits
When the Spectral Sprouts visit the Willowmere Museum for a local history project, they expect to see dusty artifacts and old paintings—not ghostly whispers and shifting portraits.

Strange occurrences lead them to a hidden passage beneath the museum, where forgotten paintings seem to watch their every move. As they piece together the mystery, they discover that William wasn’t just a name in a book—he was the last of the Willowmere family, and his presence lingers for a reason. Someone wanted him erased from history. Someone trapped him within the very walls of the museum.
With time running out and the whispers growing stronger, the Spectral Sprouts must unravel the secrets of the vanished portraits, unearth the truth behind William’s disappearance, and set him free before the past buries them all.
