He crosses to the island and finds that what he read is happening on the island and every book he reads continues to mesh with the previous book. Great book to help encourage reading and reading classics in young people.

Fun listen with my daughter.
While this book is not as good as Lemoncello's Library, it was still pretty good. When I read I feel like the characters are coming to life all the time, I wonder if I made it onto Dr. Libris' island if I could make them appear.
