Bookroo's summary

Young Edward's passion for reading transforms his world when he suddenly finds himself amidst a band of pirates. As his favorite adventure tales come to life, Edward must navigate this thrilling and dangerous new reality. Will his imagination be enough to guide him through the perils of the high seas, or will he discover that some stories are best left on the page? Dive into a world where fiction and reality blur, and every page turned could lead to a new adventure.

From the publisher

Reading everything he can after learning how to read, young Edward finds his imagination soaring and particularly enjoys adventure stories, and one day he wakes up to find himself surrounded by pirates.
