Showing the category hierarchy as clicked in WordPress, with image and desc

have a very weared issue, i am sure the solution is simple but i am not very used to wordpress and cant figure this out.

what i have is a WordPress theme and if needed i can change it to any other docent mater.

what i have is

i have some category in my wordpress and they have child and the child has child it goes to 4 lavels. like

Book
-Novel
--book name
---chapter 1
---chapter 2

Article 
-about life
--life article 1
--life article 2

etc etc this is just a simple example.

Now What i want is

i want to show the list of main categories with its image and description on the home page and when clicked on a category show its child and when clicked on a child show its child on next page and so on. at the end the final post.

also for category image i have added a plugin called category image in wordpress.

i have tried to show the list of categories on home page with the help of some plugin, like this [categories] this short code helps to show the list of categories but i also want to show the image, description and the hierarchy when clicked.

i will be really happy if any one can give me any advice, help or any suggestion. i am still working will post here for any progress. Thankx

What i am looking for is

When clicked on fiction category open all the books in that category and then when clicked on a book name open all the chapters and then when clicked on a chapter open the post

what i need is i think very simple, just a hierarchy of category when clicked. like if i click on novel all the books in novel category should open and then when i click on any book all the chapters of the book should open and then clicked on chapter the post should open.**
