On the last page of the Caldecott-winning book Jumanji, young Danny Budwing is seen running after his brother, Walter, with a game tucked under his arm. Now after twenty years, Chris Van Allsburg is ready to reveal what happens when Danny and Walter roll the dice. This time the name of the game is Zathura and the battling Budwing boys are in for the ride of their lives.
Zathura unleashes intergalactic challenges that require even the quarreling Budwing brothers to work as a team.
丹尼尔和沃尔特兄弟发现了一副游戏棋,这副棋看起来普普通通,可当弟弟丹尼尔移动棋子后,不可思议的事情发生了——流星雨像冰雹一样砸向屋顶,天花板破了一个大洞;紧接着,沃尔特突然失重,朝着那个大洞飘去;挥舞着钳子机械手的暴力机器人、布满鳞片的外星人海盗正在一步步朝他们靠近……每一次移动棋子,都有可怕的事情发生,而这个游戏一旦开始就不能中止……
本书是凯迪克金奖作品《勇敢者游戏》的续篇,这场惊心动魄的冒险一定能满足孩子对太空的幻想和期待。
