    About this ebook

    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.

      The ending could use a little work, but I LOVE this book!! Henry has found the perfect book on bicycles. He is so engrossed but the school bell tells him it’s time to do something else. But Henry wants to keep reading. And so he does. The school tries to get him to stop and buys a louder and louder bell to make it happen. While I do love this book, there are a few things I don’t like. He’s at school. We should be proud that a kid wants to read. The principal shouldn’t be trying to get him to stop. Not even for sports.
