Description:

Deep in the rocky hillside, hidden from the world, lies a cave stuffed to bursting with more gold and jewels than anyone could ever dream of. When Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter, stumbles upon the secret — and discovers the magical phrase that opens the cave — his life changes in an instant. But treasure this magnificent never stays secret for long. Before he knows it, Ali Baba must contend with a greedy, nosy brother and the dangerous fury of forty ruthless thieves who will stop at nothing to recover what is theirs.
