extraordinary secret - when he reads aloud, words come alive,
and dangerous characters step out of the pages.
Suddenly Meggie is living the kind of adventure she has only read
about in books, but this one will change her life for ever ...
A thrilling and magical adventure about stories and the
imagination they inspire
Also a major film from the makers of The Lord
of the Rings, starring Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany
