“Charlie Cook sat in an armchair — this is the same boy: peace and silence around, in the hands of his favorite book …” On each page of this “book in a book”, we, as if opening a nesting doll, find ourselves in a new story. Pirates and ghosts, knights and dragons, cops and thieves, three bears and green men from space — they all take turns reading books about each other, until in the end we find ourselves again in the room of a boy named Charlie Cook, where this incredible thing began. reading adventure.
