SYNOPSIS

Author Cornelia Funke’s best-selling children’s novel comes to vivid life on the big screen with this family-friendly tale about a bookbinder whose storytelling skills possess the curious power to transport the characters he speaks about into the real world. When a nefarious villain from a bedtime story that the father is currently reading to his daughter emerges to kidnap the stunned storyteller, it’s up to the young girl and her adventurous friends — both real and imaginary — to bring dad back home and close the book on the dreaded fiend once and for all.
