Mike and Mary are siblings obsessed with technology—Mike with his video games and Mary with her online videos. But when a fierce storm knocks out all power and crashes their devices, their mom takes them to the library, much to their dismay. Reluctantly wandering through endless rows of books, they stumble upon a mysterious glowing bookmark.

Their encounter with Jefferson, the enigmatic Master Librarian, reveals that the bookmark is magical—it can transport them into the very stories they’ve ignored for so long. Jefferson explains the library is under threat: a sinister figure in a black coat is stealing key items from first-edition books, causing the stories—and the library—to unravel. Unable to enter the books himself, Jefferson needs Mike and Mary to help restore the stories before it's too late.

Their first adventure takes them into Treasure Island, where they meet iconic characters like Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, and Ben Gunn. They must recover Captain Flint’s spyglass, Jim’s treasure map, and Long John’s parrot, all while battling ghost pirates, clever mermaids, and the looming presence of the man in the black coat.

A thrilling tale of adventure, courage, and the timeless magic of stories, this book reminds listeners of the power of imagination and the importance of preserving history.
