Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg

Have you ever been home alone and gotten bored? This is what happens to Judy and Peter. After playing indoors, they go to the park. In the park they find a board game made for restless and bored kids. They bring it home to try it out. They read the instructions and begin playing. After the first roll, magical things start to happen. Confused and scared, they think of the instructions and remember the last one: "ONCE A GAME OF JUMANJI IS STARTED IT WILL NOT BE OVER UNTIL ONE PLAYER REACHES THE GOLDEN CITY."

Go with Judy and Peter through their magical board game and see what magical things will happen! I recommend Jumanji for the upper elementary grades.
