    From actor-author-broadcaster-comedian-

    filmmaker Richard Ayoade comes a book narrated


    by . . . a book. Quirky, smart, and genre-busting,
    this is the saga of a book that nobody wants to
    read—until the day it meets YOU.

    The life of a book isn’t easy, especially when people


    judge you by your cover (not every book can be
    adorned with sparkly unicorns!). And this narrator
    should know—it’s the book itself, and it has a lot of
    opinions. It gets irritated when readers bend its pages
    back, and it finds authors quite annoying. But it does
    have a story to tell. Through witty direct address
    and charming illustrations, readers meet a book that
    has never been read, with a cover the boring color
    of a school lunch table and pages so dry they give
    bookworms indigestion. But what happens when
    this book meets you, a curious reader? Multitalented
    author Richard Ayoade and award-winning illustrator
    Tor Freeman bring to life a hilariously subversive
    take on the nature of books and reading, with a
    heartening theme of finding the courage to tell
    our own stories. Readers of all ages will be delighted
    by the myriad bookish references and laughs on
    every page. MARCH 14, 2023
    HC: 978-1-5362-2216-6 • $17.99 / $23.99 CAN
    Ages 10–14 • 128 pages
    Also available as an e-book

    “A very—very—funny book that’s also a


    playfully philosophical exploration of why we
    write and why we read.”
    —Mac Barnett, author of Sam and Dave Dig a Hole and What Is Love?
