There they drink tea and talk about books.‘Find yourself a book to read,’ Grandma says every Tuesday. But Brandon never wants to.The only other kid who spends every Tuesday afternoon there, is the mysterious Book Girl. The Book Girl never speaks to anyone. She just sits there, her back against a tree and her nose in a book.But one afternoon, Brandon kicks a ball ... and also kicks off a wild adventure, filled with magical creatures, riddles and breathtaking action.In this wonderfully weird, funny story filled with trolls, dragons, gnomes and other magical creatures, Jaco Jacobs creates a modern fairy tale that celebrates the wonder of books and the imagination.
