A book sits abandoned on a living room shelf. While the Blossburn family happily gets on with other things like watching TV and playing video games, the book aches to be read. Slowly it starts to swell. Then it starts to leak! At first it’s only a small trickle, but when pirates sail out of the book, the family must band together to reclaim their living room. An action-packed adventure into the wonderful world of books, the power of the imagination, and the importance of family.
