It's pouring rain, and Patrick has nothing to do. He can't go outside, and he's bored of all his books, toys and games. What a terrible day! 

An indoor, rainy day is the worst - that is, until his dad asks him to get him a small gold key from his bedroom. There's only one small problem: The floor is filling with lava!

Patrick spun 'round, in stunned shock and awe,
and gasped at the landscape of lava he saw.
Bubbling around him, far too hot to touch,
he'd never seen lava–at least, never so much!
The fast rush of fire gave his spine a sharp shiver,
and he fought to avoid falling in the hot river. 

But will he get to read its incredible stories? His journey home may be harder than it looks!

Join Patrick Picklebottom on his latest adventure as his imagination runs wild! Will he be able to outrun the lava flooding his house? Will he get past the three eyed monster guarding the key, or the pirate waiting to steal it?

Find out in this wild story that stretches creativity to its limits, as Patrick turns a dreary day into one of the wildest journeys ever!
