Sixty years ago, Izzy’s grandmother was a Swynlake Ranger, part of an elite squad whose job it was to stand up and protect Swynlake in times of crisis

Izzy has never forgotten, though, having grown up listening to her grandmother’s stories, and she’s determined to build up a new squad of Rangers! 

Especially because so many big disasters have been happening! Swynlake needs the rangers more than ever!
