The Book That Wouldnt Read

The boy at the centre of Tim Tipenes striking new story doesnt like reading, until one day in the school library he picks up The Book that Wouldnt Read. Suddenly the book takes on a life of its own with sentences moving up and down, words changing colour and disappearing, and strange fonts and characters that get the reader jumping around, even burping. His appeals to the teacher and friends get hushed because its reading time, and before he knows it, hes finished the book. What should I read next?

The Book that Wouldnt Read takes the viewpoint of children who have reading struggles, with design guided by educators for appeal to reluctant or even dyslexic readers

The Te Reo edition is Te Pukapuka Ka Kore e Panuihia.
