Jumanji is the picture book that inspired a movie franchise, by the creator of bestselling The Polar Express: Caldecott Medal winning Chris Van Allsburg.
When Peter and Judy start to play a mysterious board game, they have no idea they're about to be sucked into a whole new world of adventure and danger, of hungry lions and devastating jungle storms... but the game cannot finish until one of the players reaches The Golden City.
