Welcome to Bacalen

Home of The Story Weavers

We heard their whispers.
They called to us – quietly, urgently.
In our dreams or as we walked amongst them.
One day, somehow,
From somewhere,
Their voices become stronger.
They were desperate.
Books were calling to children across the world.
Some of us heard them.
Some of us were chosen by them.
We are The Story Weavers of Bacalen – Irlen heroes who have been called to save Earth's stories from The Story Snatchers.
If our quest fails, then this story will be the last one the world will ever remember.


I could not put (The Story Snatchers) down and read the whole book in one sitting. It is wonderful! I am sure that children of all ages would enjoy this adventure book. It weaves together a variety of different themes and has those wearing Irlen Spectral Filters the ones with the power and the heroes. I loved every moment and want to help spread the word.
