Welcome to Litsy!

Elise Gravel wants to write a totally drab book; her characters want to let loose. Who�s gonna win? 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 blas� 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.
