    About this ebook

    Aren't you ready for a story with a happy ending?

     

    Benjamin Kalinowski was famous in St. Isidore as the community's most well-read man. Every Tuesday and Thursday he would march to and from the library with loads of books that had been read, and too read. One day Adam King, a young boy who loved books as much as Benjamin Kalinowski learned the truth. After Adam shares his mission with you, please read a bonus short story, The Undertaker's Son, From the St. Isidore Collection, followed by the story of a woman in a tree, and a monkey who shares birthday messages.

     

    Guess what? Every story is based on a true story. Each and every one of these tales really happened!

     

    Bookworm is everything the title suggests. But it's more. It's also the story of a boy who finds his life's mission in the basement of his neighborhood public library. 

     

    Love books, and people like yourself who love books? Do yourself a favor, and buy Bookworm!

      The Library of Gromma

      Jul 10, 2023

      Zac was sweating and panting as he reached the top of the hill. The crooked beams of the library loomed over him. He dropped the buckets of water, swore at the few drops that spilled, and escaped the piercing morning sun in the shade of the library.
