AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This book is not The Book. The Book is in this book. And The Book in this book is both the goodie and the baddie.

'Bonnie is five. She wants to bury The Book because it is a demon that should go to hell. Penny, Bonnie’s mother, does bury The Book, but every day she digs it up and writes in it. John, Bonnie’s father, doesn’t live with them anymore. But he still likes to write in it from time to time. Ted, Bonnie’s stepfather, would like to write in The Book, but Penny won’t allow it.

'To Bonnie, The Book is sadness.

To Penny, The Book is liberation.

To John, The Book is forgiveness.

To Ted, The Book is envy.

But The Book in this book isn’t what it seems at all.

'If there was one thing in this world you wished you could hold in your hand, what would it be? The world bets it would be The Book.' (Publication summary)
