Bookroo's summary

Walden's mundane family dinner takes a magical turn when he's swept into his fridge drawings. Facing crayon monsters, monkey troops, and ice-maker quakes, he embarks on a zany adventure. Will he find his way back and discover the true value of family amidst the chaos? Dive into this comic-book-inspired journey filled with surprises and heartfelt moments.

From the publisher

#1 New York Times Bestselling novelist Harlan Coben partners with a talented debut illustrator in this fantastical and funny adventure for fans of David Wiesner and William Joyce

It’s family dinner night, and Walden would like to be anywhere other than the kitchen in the middle of chores. Suddenly his wish is granted: He is magically swooped into one of his own drawings on the fridge, and finds himself on a one-of-a-kind adventure. After battling a crayon monster, he catches a plane ride into an old photo, escapes a troop of monkeys by cannonballing into an aquarium ticket, survives an ice-maker earthquake, and more. Kids will love studying the dynamic, comic-book-inspired illustrations in this zany, surprise-filled journey that culminates in a heartfelt appreciation of family.
