Mark and his friends discover they've lived before. Not only that – they were Famous and Important People. Which is lots of fun. At first.

In Second Childhood, the adventure of uncovering past lives becomes an intriguing journey of self-discovery for Mark and his friends. The excitement of their famous past identities soon leads to unexpected revelations and challenges, as they realise that being extraordinary once doesn't necessarily make life easier now.
