OK. So we all know reading is hard. And boring. Want to know how to get out of it? If someone's nagging you to open a book, grab this one! Inside you'll find perfect tips on how to fool people into thinking you're reading. You may even find yourself turning the pages after all...

A book was sitting lonely on the shelf, waiting to be read. Tired of having no one to talk to, it decided to make a promise to potential readers: 'You keep turning my pages, and I'll make it fun!'Packed full of interactive jokes and games, The Book No One Wants to Read is a riotously colourful, mischievous book with a mission: to hook in even the most reluctant of readers.
