About the Show

"Wizards, and Dragons, and Books...Oh My!" was created by Fantasy Theatre Factory to encourage a greater interest in reading, develop the imagination and to help children discover the confidence and self-esteem they need to overcome bullying. The program consists of a wide selection of award winning authors with stories geared for grades pre-k through 5th. The stories are brought to life by talented actors through magic, puppetry, humor and costuming. Young audiences are entertained while learning a valuable lesson; each book is presented individually by name and author.

The story stars Jojo, a great kid who loves to read... That is until some kids in the lunchroom start calling her names like "bookworm." To avoid the bullying, Jojo goes to Mendel's Magical Book Shop, hoping that she can sell her books and use the money to buy video games, so she'll fit in with the other kids. Once in the Magic Book Shop though, things take an unexpected turn as the stories in her books magically start to jump to life all around her! Now, all of the pages to Jojo's books are blank and the characters from her books are running wild in real life!
