From acclaimed author-illustrator Dan Yaccarino comes an
exhilarating adventure-set in a richly imagined alternate
future-celebrating the power of reading and family, perfect for
fans of The Rock From the Sky. K lives with her family in a city
where people rarely talk or play together, and no longer read
books. Instead, they stare at small portable screens, monitored by
giant eyeballs called Helpers. The Helpers, well, they help! With
everything. Lonely and frustrated, K would like to do things for
herself. Running from a Helper, she discovers another world: the
City Under the City. There, she befriends a rat who leads her to a
library and teaches her to read. As she explores the abandoned
city, she's thrilled to learn about the people who lived there,
with no Helpers. But she misses her family, and decides to head
home, where, just maybe, she can help defeat the intrusive
Helpers-and show her people how to read and enjoy each other's
company. Told through Dan Yaccarino's stunning graphic style, this
page-turning picture book/early reader crossover will spark a new
appreciation of reading, books, independence, friendship, and
family.
