What is Franklin Endicott and the Third Key about?

Franklin Endicott worries about almost everything, from lions and submarines to black holes and armadillos.

With help from friends, hot cocoa and stories read aloud, he must find the courage to investigate. Along the way, Franklin discovers that facing a mystery may be less frightening than letting his worries grow.
