"The Island of Dr. Libris" is an action-packed adventure that celebrates the power of imagination, revealing that sometimes the real story begins after you close the book. Young Billy is spending his summer at a lakeside cabin owned by the enigmatic Dr. Libris. He discovers something strange and magical: whenever he opens the classic books from Dr. Libris' private bookcase, he can hear the sounds of battles, dialogues, and even feel the ground shake, as if the stories are coming to life on the island in the middle of the lake. Soon, Billy finds the island inhabited by famous literary characters such as Hercules, Robin Hood, Maid Marian, The Three Musketeers, Tom Sawyer, and Pollyanna. As these characters interact, their stories intertwine and get complicated with the addition of some comic book heroes and villains. It falls to Billy, using his imagination, to create a happy ending for everyone, including himself.
