"Wizards\, and Dragons\, and Books... Oh M y!" is FTF's newest literacy incentive and bully prevention show. The stor y stars Jojo\, a great kid who loves to read... That is until some kids in the lunchroom start calling him names like "bookworm." To avoid the bully ing\, Jojo goes to Mendel's Magical Book Shop\, hoping that he can sell hi s books and use the money to buy video games\, so he'll fit in with the ot her kids. Once in the Magic Book Shop though\, things take an unexpected t urn as the stories in his books magically start to jump to life all around him! Now\, all of the pages to Jojo's books are blank and the characters from his books are running wild in real life! \;
\nIt's up to Jo jo to retell the stories to get his old friends to go back on the page. Wh ile Jojo works to get his favorite characters from his books to go back on to the pages they belong in\, he remembers why he loves to read some much in the first place\; It's really FUN! Along the way Jojo starts to realiz e that all of his books have characters in them who are different\, and th at being different is what makes them special. \;
\nThis show ar tfully weaves its featured books into its thru-line to create a show that both encourages reading and celebrates diversity.
