At first glance, Paul-Émile Dumoulin is just another librarian. He is serious, proud and concerned with order: his shelves are impeccable and every book is in its place. The trouble is, as soon as he puts his nose in a book, reality disappears and is replaced by the crazy worlds he discovers as he reads.
As he discovers new adventures, the wise librarian is transformed. Suddenly, he’s embodying strange, zany characters, performing acrobatics, balancing acts, juggling, break dancing and beat boxing. How far will reading take him?
