Zathura
On the last page of the Caldecott-winning book Jumanji, young Danny
Budwing is seen running after his brother, Walter, with a game tucked
under his arm. Now after twenty years, Chris Van Allsburg is ready to
reveal what happens when Danny and Walter roll the dice. This time the
name of the game is Zathura and the battling Budwing boys are in for
the ride of their lives.
Zathura unleashes intergalactic challenges that require even the quarreling Budwing brothers to work as a team.
Zathura hit bestseller lists when it was first published in 2002 and it's sure to visit them again this fall, along with an exciting selection of six movie tie-in editions when Zathura blasts into movie theatres nationwide!

Chris Van Allsburg
RISD ’75 [Sculpture]
Chris Van Allsburg first beckoned readers into his enchanted imagination — a place where, “something strange or puzzling,” is sure to happen — with The Garden of Abdul Gasazi (Houghton Mifflin, 1979). The string of books that followed (The Polar Express, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick and The Z Was Zapped, to name a few) sealed his reputation as a perennial favorite with both children and adults. In Zathura (2002), a two-dimensional game board unfolds into a three-dimensional world, enveloping two boys and their house and taking them on a trip through outer space and back in time. Among Van Allsburg’s numerous awards are Caldecott Medals for The Polar Express (1986) and Jumanji (1982), which was made into a feature film and heralded in The New York Times Book Review for its “subtle intelligence beyond the call of illustration.”
