Synopsis
John, Susan, Barnaby, Fredericka and Abbie love books and take trips to the library each week to find new treasures. One week, just as they are leaving the library for the day, one of the children reaches for an old, worn book that the librarian tells them is a “seven-day book.” Curious about what that means, the children open the book as soon as they leave the library to start reading it out loud to the group. What they find in the book surprises — they are the characters in the book and are off on their own adventure.
This book was very fun to read. Different lands, creatures and adventures with each chapter. It was a clean and very easy read. It was a great adventure that would be fun for all ages.
