While digging in the front yard, Wishbone unearths a mysterious metal object with the initials, “N. J.” inscribed on it. Joe Talbot and the rest of his friends try to unlock the mystery. At the same time, Wishbone is reminded of another mysterious item- one found by Professor Otto Lidenbrock, from Jules Verne’s A journey to the Center of the Earth. Wishbone imagines that he is the professor who discovers a clue that actually points the way to an incredible journey. Professor Lidenbrock, along with his nephew Axel and their guide, Hans, finds himself facing giants, dinosaurs, and raging waters as the group travels deep beneath the surface of the Earth!
