Four Kids and It

When new couple, American workaholic Alice and endearingly awkward David, take their children on a trip to a Cornwall cottage, the kids are horrified to learn that the holiday is, in fact, a family-bonding trip with their potential future step-siblings. Alice and David quickly discover that the vacation is going to be a challenge.

But, the holiday takes an unexpected turn when the kids discover a magical (and very grumpy) Psammead on the local beach—a creature with the power to grant wishes. They also meet local oddball Tristan, who wants to capture the Psammead for his own gain. The ensuing adventure brings the new siblings together and helps them accept their parents’ newfound happiness.
