The story
Charlie loves nothing more than getting lost in a good book, but his sister Izzy would rather do ANYTHING else. But what starts as a typical afternoon in the Cook family living room soon becomes an edge-of-the-seat adventure through the world of stories. There's a pirate captain who delights in reading while walking the plank, a dragon who loves terrible jokes, a frog who's read everything in the library, and a croc with a tummy full of tales! When there are so many thrilling events waiting on the other side, who would escape the magic between covers?
