Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The first page has Henry hooked.

The second page has him captivated.

The third page . . .

BBBBRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!

. . . will have to wait.

That is, unless Henry ignores the bell, stays put, and keeps on reading the most awesome book.

By not springing up with the ringing of the bell, Henry sets off a chain reaction unlike anything his school or town has ever seen. Luckily, Mayor Wise, Governor Bright, and Senator Brilliant know exactly what the situation calls for:

A louder bell. MUCH louder.

With this hilarious, high-energy satire from bestselling author Chris Barton and illustrator Ashley Spires, readers will be cheering louder still as one of their own continues to just stay put.

Engrossed in a book, Henry decides to ignore the school bell, which sets off a chain reaction.
