(3) 4-6 Their mother's sudden illness and their father's attempt to whisk them away make it clear to Gus, Leo, and Ila that their parents are hiding major secrets. This frustrates the siblings enough that they follow a shapeshifting visitor to their mother's island of origin. After transforming into animals to gain entry, they fight the evil Dobhar-chú. The backstory's slow reveal creates plenty of suspense.
