Brandon hates Tuesdays. Nothing exciting ever happens on a Tuesday. Every
Tuesday Grandma Ella picks him up after school. Then they go to the library,
where Grandma and her friends always meet in the garden behind the library.
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 breath taking 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. Fitting themes for the
300th book by this exceptional author.
