In this rollicking, book-loving adventure, the children of Triple Creek take charge to keep hope alive and give their town the greatest future of all. From master storyteller Patricia Polacco, author of Thank You, Mr. Falker, comes a tribute to the power of books and the children who love them.

Everyone in Triple Creek loves TV. Everyone, that is, except for Eli's Aunt Chip, who doesn't even own one. In fact, the townspeople love their TVs so much that Aunt Chip has taken to bed in protest for the past fifty years!

It's only when Aunt Chip learns that everyone in town has forgotten how to read that she decides she can rest no longer. She teaches Eli to read, and the other children are so amazed at this magic that they want to learn too. But when they go to the old dam to get more books, they and the other townspeople get a surprise they never expected.

A charming yet powerful story, for any family, kid, teacher, or librarian who truly believes in the power of books.
