By Jory John, Author & Jared Chapman, Illustrator. A boy steadfastly refuses to take responsibility for any of his mistakes. He just blames everything on his pen, his backpack, his comb, his pillow—whatever happens to be at hand. For a while, this approach works at home and at school. He’s positively convinced he has it all figured out until…all the inanimate objects rise up and revolt. What can he do when a talking pen and talking backpack decide to rebel? For ages 3 and up.
