More DescriptionA Dahl-esque fantasy adventure for children in which the very boring Monotonous family discovers a taste for excitement through the workings of a magic key.Ann and Stan Monotonous are extremely brainy nine-year-old twins. However, their family life is painfully dull - dull routines, stultifying hobbies - even their meals are agonisingly awful, as they are all rigidly based on the most basic of food pyramids. Their only excitement in life is a recording of a bland voice reciting the numbers of pi which they listen to in the car. Then one day Ann Monotonous finds a magic key. The key comes with a special message and Ann suddenly, and literally, finds exciting new doors opening for the Monotonous family. Then the unthinkable happens - the Monotonous family becomes entirely too exciting. Now it's up to Ann to save her family... from themselves.
