Louella has used every excuse under the sun to avoid reading. That is until one day when her brother convinces her to listen to a story. Mason searches his bookshelf until he finds the perfect story for Louella. 

As he begins, a glittering spark on the edge of the book catches Louella’s eye. The more Mason reads, the more the spark grows, beginning to transform the bedroom – a pirate ship … an African jungle … hidden caves … 
Meanwhile, something is hiding just out of sight, inching its way closer to Louella. Will today be the day it has been waiting for? 

Witness the moment a child discovers the magic of reading.  I wonder, have you caught the Reading Bug?
