A hilarious story about not spoiling the end of the story — selected as a Best book of 2016 by NPR, Betsy Bird/School Library Journal, the Nerdy Book Club, and others.

When our young hero settles in to read, the last thing he wants is for some noisy animals to ruin the ending of his book. But ruin it they do. And as it turns out, the boy is quickly approaching a surprise ending of his own! Maybe he should have listened to the animals after all. . . .

From the acclaimed author of Drawn Together, Lift, and The Perfect Seat comes a story that reminds us that reading is always a fun adventure… with a twist at the end.

Finalist for Florida’s Sunshine State Young Readers Jr. Award, Wyoming’s Buckaroo Book Award, California’s Young Reader Medal, and selected for the Wisconsin State Reading Association’s Picture This! Recommended Reading List.
