A young boy with a wild imagination makes a trip to the corner shop to buy apples.
It isn’t far.
Indeed, it’s just a quick walk through the garden, but the boy’s sense of wonder transforms an everyday errand into an odyssey.
In the garden, a small coppice becomes a huge, dark wood with fire-breathing dragons and a sleeping giant.
A pond becomes the high seas teeming with sharks and marauding pirates.
There’s a clever twist too.
The boy asks the reader to join him on the expedition.
Illustrations full of glorious detail show the scenes from above.
The reader uses this birds - eye perspective to guide the boy through the adventure and even lends a hand by turning the pages to escape looming danger!
