Violet and Victor Small are twins on a mission: to write the best book in the whole, entire world–together! Victor is reluctant, but Violet is determined, and soon the ideas can’t come quickly enough.

They begin to write a story about a hungry Bookworm who is eating all the books in the library. Thanks to Victor’s brilliant ideas, Violet is able to save the day (and the library).

This delightful story-within-a-story is filled with good-natured sibling rivalry, and focuses on the spirit of cooperation, the satisfaction of a job well-done, and the magic of storytelling.

  • "Murguia creates extravagant visual representations of the possibilities that await readers (and writers) of stories...Entertaining, and likely to inspire readers to try putting their own stories together."
    Publishers Weekly
  • "Clever fare for aspiring bookworms (especially siblings)."
    Kirkus
  • "Fascinating illustrations are fun to study...The great blend of text and illustrations combine for an enjoyable story about writing a story."
    Booklist
  • "A creative story and the sweetest tale ever."
    School Library Connection
