The boy at the centre of Tim Tipene's striking new story doesn't like reading, until one day he picks up The Book that Wouldn’t Read. Suddenly the book takes on a life of its own, with sentences moving up and down, words changing colour and disappearing, and strange characters that get the reader jumping around, even burping ― and before he knows it, he's finished the book. 'What should I read next?' An inspirational story in separate English and Māori editions that acknowledges children who have reading struggles and brings to life the joy of books.
