Benjamin the worm loves his job at the Library of Congress—reading, organizing, and receiving letters from kids who share their favorite books. But everything changes when a strange illness sweeps across the world. Schools close. Libraries shut their doors. And suddenly… no more letters. No more books.
Kids everywhere are cut off from their favorite stories—and Benjamin knows he has to do something.
With the help of his clever and determined friends, Benjamin sets out on a mission to bring books back into children’s hands. Whether it’s finding new ways to distribute stories or helping build on each other’s strengths, this little team proves that determination—and a love of reading—can go a long way.
Because stories matter. And heroes come in all shapes… even squiggly ones.
