Two bored kids are led by their Grandpa into a secret staircase behind the bookshelf, leading to a secret room, where they find "The Bored Book." To their surprise, when they open it, they find colorful, exciting, endless fold-out pages, into which they can dive into, transporting them to far-off worlds and nail-biting adventures. After meeting up with Sasquatch, pirates, knights, a dragon, and a close call with an octopus, they fold the book back up and run back down to show to their Grandpa. When he opens it, it's just a regular book, but now they notice the books on the bookshelf that have cover pictures showing the adventures of where they had just been. They finally settle down, enjoying a book together.
