The Universe
Zip's World
Every great character lives in a world that feels real. Here's what you need to know about Zip's.
The Map
Places in Zip's World
Chip Valley
Home. Rolling golden hills, warm afternoon light, and the smell of something good cooking. Chip Valley is where Zip and his family live — and where every adventure begins.
The Pantry
Momma Chip's kitchen — the warmest, safest place in the world. The Pantry is where the family gathers, stories are told, and the best meals are made from whatever's left in the cupboard.
The Garden
Where Rory, Tilly, Benji, and Kat all live. The Garden is always growing, always changing — and always full of something interesting happening between the rows.
Worm Hollow
Wally's territory. A network of tunnels, burrows, and secret passages beneath the garden. Nobody knows it as well as Wally — which is why he's always disappearing into it.
The Old Bridge
The wooden bridge over the stream at the edge of Chip Valley. Every great adventure passes over it. Standing on the bridge means you're about to go somewhere new.
Benji's Library
The most important building in Chip Valley, according to Benji. A cozy room packed floor-to-ceiling with books on every subject imaginable. The answers are in here somewhere.
What Zip Believes
The Values Behind the World
These aren't lessons Zip announces. They're the conclusions you reach after spending time in his world.
Courage
Zip doesn't always feel brave. But he acts anyway — and that's the whole point.
Honesty
Rory models it. The whole crew lives it. Truth is the foundation of every friendship in Chip Valley.
Kindness
Not the easy kind — the kind that costs you something. Tilly shows what it looks like.
Family
Momma Chip and Poppa Chip aren't props. They're the anchor. Family is the center of Zip's world.
Curiosity
Benji asks every question. Kat tries every idea. The world rewards the ones who keep asking.
Loyalty
When things get hard, the crew shows up. That's what makes them a crew.
The World Is Just Getting Started
Zip's world is growing. New stories, new places, new characters — all being built with the same care that went into the first one. Sign up to follow the journey from the beginning.
