King of Boredom cover

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.

"Slight and silly—but not too boring."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"King of Boredom is a smart summer reading choice for kids who need a little push in the right direction. Colorful artwork, with a taciturn Ben in the center of it all, makes for a fun read. "
-- MomReadIt
"This seems like that perfect book for the child who says 'I’m bored, there’s nothing to do.'...I can see kids rejoicing when Ben does crack a small smile at the end of the story."
-- Youth Services Book Review
