Never Turn the Page Too Soon

Good books don’t get fed to the LYONS—or do they? This is the question Little Book asks after he is abandoned on the donation cart in a bookstore by his author, Page Tuner, at the close of business one day. Thrust into this strange new world where all the characters within come to life and danger lurks in every aisle, Little Book finds himself without a shelf space to call his own. Now, with only twelve hours until the bookstore reopens, he'll have to work fast to prove he can rival the best the bookstore has to offer or he’ll be fed to the Lyons (an industrial-sized shredder) shoelaces and all. Will this kid from the wrong side of the stacks persevere?

With the Shelf Life series, author Leslie R. Henderson introduces a new kind of hero, one who redefines what it means to be a good book. By taking the notion of judging a book by its cover and kicking it into overdrive, she has concocted a tale that almost everyone can relate to. For all of those who tried to fit in but couldn’t, for anyone who was told they didn’t look the part, this book is for you!
