Bookworm follows 11-year-old Mildred (Nell Fisher) whose life takes a wild turn when her estranged father, Strawn Wise (Elijah Wood), a failed Las Vegas illusionist, suddenly reappears. Years ago, after a magical encounter with the once-charming Strawn, Mildred’s mother returned to New Zealand. Now, a comical accident leaves Strawn to care for Mildred while her mother is hospitalized. Their first adventure? A camping trip to hunt the mythical Canterbury Panther. As this mismatched duo explores the wilderness, magic tricks and an extraordinary quest, hilarity ensues—and they might just find a way to put their family back together.
