An adventurer through and through, PJ can¿t understand why Humphrey doesn¿t allow himself to have any fun. She tells him tales of all her antics and mishaps and they don¿t notice the park is closing. Oh no! How will Humphrey get home? There¿s only one way out. Over. The. Wall!When Humphrey finally faces his darkest fears, a surprising revelation lies on the other side.
