Throwing caution to the wind, young Jack trades his C.O.W. (Computer of Wonder) for a small pile of magic beans. The following morning, Jack is stunned to find that his beans have sprouted into a stalk that leads straight up into the clouds. Ascending the stalk, Jack discovers a wondrous new world where anything seems possible, and discovers that heroes can come in small packages when they have the courage to face their fears. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
