Amazon Description

It can be lonely sometimes on a rainy day in a big house with no one else around and there’s only the quiet to keep you company. But if you find a key, a mysterious key, that leads you to an unexpected place . . . chances are your afternoon is about to get a lot more interesting.

One Potato Review

No words here. No need. Here is a story about being stuck inside from the rain, though it’s significantly told from the perspective of a poor little rich kid absently kicking a ball around his mansion, who discovers a key, a trunk and a secret passage to an island full of game-playing children, who may or may not exist outside the privacy of his imagination. As such, this is perfectly suited to unmediated exploration, though some parents may want to tag along for a ride. Simply transporting. Shoes - and elaboration - not required.
