When Alex doesn’t have money for the school book fair, he makes a decision with giant consequences

Every year when the school book fair comes around, Alex just can’t bear it. He loves books, but he never has any money to spend. But when there’s a new book about squids and octopuses – the animals he’s most fond of– at this year’s fair, Alex decides to steal it. He sneaks it into his backpack and takes it home.

But then the golden giant squid from the book begins to visit him in his dreams, and Alex has to decide how to make things right.
