In a small town that doesn’t like reading, there live “word-beasts.” They turn books into playgrounds—there are cake-scented books, playful toy-books, and many other wonderful kinds.

Every whale that carries books toward the forest, in its final days, will come to this little town that doesn’t love reading. The fragrance of books drifts through the air, attracting word-beasts from all over the world.
