A deluxe keepsake edition of The Polar Express featuring an illustrated countdown calendar, pop-out Christmas tree, and twenty-four ornaments with daily activities, all packaged in a durable slipcase for families to use for years to come. Bored kids Peter and Judy try a mysterious board game, Jumanji, and unleash wild, magical chaos. Chris Van Allsburg’s tale blurs fantasy and reality in a thrilling, surreal adventure. The thin line between illusion and reality blur for young Alan when he stumbles into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. In this unexpected place where strange trees loom, the eerie presence of Gasazi casts its shadow and nothing is quite as it seems. In a story that picks up where Jumanji leaves off, Danny ignores his older brother Walter’s warning and brings home a strange board game, launching them into a wild space adventure with robots, pirates, and meteors invading their home. With author-illustrator extraordinaire Harris Burdick gone and only his eerie sketches left behind, readers must become the storytellers, unraveling the mystery one image at a time.
