Elise Gravel wants to write a totally drab book; her characters want to let loos. Who's gonna win? Donât take the title as a metaphor: it really is the worst book ever. Governor General Literary Award winning childrenâs book author and illustrator Elise Gravel takes readers on an unexpected journey through the worldâs most boring book. The storyâs characters and omniscient readers alike quickly become annoyed by the authorâs bland imagination and rebel against her tired tropes and stale character choices, spouting sass in an attempt to get her attention and steer the narrative in a more interesting direction. After all, you donât even have to buy the book, but the characters? Theyâre stuck in there for an eternity, and theyâre going to do their best to make the most of it, or at least have a little fun where they can. As the charming and bizarre true nature of the characters overpowers the dry attributes given to them by the author, this once blasĂ© story quickly picks up speed, transforming the story into something much more unique than originally promised. With Gravelâs signature goofy characters behind the wheel, no silly twist or rude body function is off the table!
