Today is Franklin’s birthday. He’s turning six hundred and six!
He thinks his friends have all forgotten... they haven’t sent him any gifts.
It's Franklin the dragon's birthday and the whole village is planning a surprise party. To make sure it remains a secret, Franklin's best friend Luna distracts him by taking him to the local bookshop. It's there that they discover a strange book of fairy tales with a sign that says 'DON'T OPEN!'. However, Luna's pet tortoise can't help but peer inside... and when he does, he disappears! Luna and Franklin dive inside the book to rescue him. On their quest they meet a host of fairy tale characters, not all of whom are friendly!
Will Luna and Franklin find Neil the tortoise and make it home in time for the party?
From the creators of the bestselling Franklin's Flying Bookshop and Franklin and Luna Go to to the Moon, Jen Campbell and Katie Harnett present a tale about the wonder (and dangers!) of getting lost inside a good book.
