About this listen

A love letter to books and reading by beloved Newbery Award-winning author Katherine Paterson.

William hates reading. It’s so boring! Word after word, page after page, chapter after chapter, ugh. So when his local library starts stocking something called a brame - a combination of a book and a game in a jar - he’s intrigued enough to give it a go. He has to nibble the brame pieces, which taste like cardboard and only give a hint to the story, which is fun at first. Who, or what, is Madison? What does “Thursday at Midnight” mean? Chewing the pieces is slow and tedious work - how will William ever get through all the pieces and figure out what this story is about?

Consuming a story has never been like this.

This reads like an interesting idea that the writer got bored of writing. Overall Really disappointing.

This isn’t a very good story
