Description
Ben is thin and pale, always bored, and never has any fun. His favorite color is gray, his favorite dish is plain pasta, and when he has spare time, he loves staring into space. He gets bored no matter the season of the year, the weather, or the position. He is so good at being bored that one day he locks himself in his bedroom and decides to proclaim himself the Supreme King of Boredom: find out what happens when his subjects, his army, and even the queen arrive. Dyslexia-friendly font creates accessibility for all readers.
