This tale of intergalactic adventure and sibling rivalry features a beautifully refreshed cover. In a story that picks up where Jumanji leaves off, older brother Walter warns his pesky little brother, Danny, not to bring home a mysterious board game they find at the park. But when Danny’s curiosity gets the better of him, the brothers have to battle homicidal robots, Zyborg pirates, and giant meteors in their living room! Will the feuding brothers learn to work together before it’s too late? Full-spread illustrations depict the shimmering, surreal events of the story. Readers will be holding their breath with each new threat the boys face in this satisfying enigmatic picture book from a master creator. Like Jumanji, Zathura is also the inspiration of a popular major motion picture. Review: Love! - Such a good book! Review: Excellent space story for kids of all ages. - My kid loves anything space-related. After watching the movie Zathura for the millionth time, I tried to get him to watch its predacessor, Jumanji, and he really couldn't be bothered with it because... no space stuff. So we checked out the book, Zathura, and he was hooked. We checked it out so many times, they told us we had to stop for at least a two-week cycle every month so someone else could read it. After searching for months at used and new bookstores, I just ordered it from desertcart. The story revolves around Danny and Walter, two brothers who are constantly fighting and bickering. After tusseling in the park on the way home, one of them finds an old board game box next to a tree with the word "Jumanji" printed on it. It had been left there by Peter and Judy after their adventures in the original book of the same name. Walter and Danny take it home, and when they find the jungle board game a bit too immature, they magically find another board wedged into the bottom of the box. One with spaceships and aliens printed on it. You can probably guess where it goes from there -- the boys take turns trying to reach the planet Zathura to get home, while everything from meteors to lizard aliens to a homicidal robot destroys their house around them. As always, the illustrations are beautiful and somewhat wistful, in the same odd way that Van Allburg's other books tend to be. ## Features - Hard cover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #210,727 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,227 in Children's Interactive Adventures #2,361 in Children's Classics #3,468 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 363 Reviews | ## Images ![Zathura - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1iefdRvcnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love! *by G***I on May 4, 2026* Such a good book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent space story for kids of all ages. *by L***S on March 29, 2016* My kid loves anything space-related.
