Don’t take the title as a metaphor: it really is the worst book ever. The winner of the
Governor General Literary Award and children’s book author and illustrator Elise
Gravel takes readers on an unexpected journey through the world’s most boring book
in The Worst Book Ever. The characters and omniscient readers alike quickly become
annoyed by the author’s bland imagination and rebel against her tired tropes and
stale choices, spouting sass in an attempt to get her attention and steer the narrative
in a more interesting direction. After all, you don’t even have to buy the book, but
the characters? They’re stuck in there for an eternity, and they’re going to do their
best to make the most of it, or at least have a little fun when they can.


As the charming and bizarre true nature of the characters overpowers the dry
attributes given to them by the author, this once blasé story quickly picks up speed,
transforming into something much more unique than originally promised. With
Gravel’s signature goofy characters behind the wheel, no silly twist or rude body
function is off the table.
