The Pagemaster

A boy who’d rather read than risk a scraped knee gets a crash course in adventure when the library decides to teach him the hard way. On a stormy afternoon, a freak storm whisks him into a living storybook where every shelf is a new quest. The real surprise? He walks out more afraid of libraries than of anything else.
