Have you ever thought about how it feels to be a book? To be left under a whiffy pant pile or shelved, forever collecting dust? To have your pages bent backwards or your spine BROKEN? What if you don’t have a sparkly unicorn or dragon adorning your cover – who will pick you out of the bookshop then? This is the story of the sadly neglected Book That No One Wanted To Read – can its destiny change when it finally meets the right reader? Spoiler alert: yes.


By D A Putman

"A book, is whatever you make of it, much like life. A thoroughly delightfully silly book about a book, high on a shelf that no one wants to read . . . Engaging and fun from start to finish, or from start to a start . . . This clever book is written in conversation with the book itself, and I had to read parts of it to my husband as it was just to unique and fun to keep solely to myself. I will never look at a blank page the same way again. And that's a very good thing!"

By Casey

"I bought this book for my nephew and started reading it and finished it. So smart, witty and an good read. It is wonderful for kiddos and adults. It brings the love of reading back to adults and introduces it to the kiddos. Richard Ayoade (last name mostly vowels...if you watch his shows, you will get it) is an amazing writer, director, comedian. And my nephew can't wait for his next book to read."
