Book Synopsis



A little boy enlists the help of various people, including the most effective person of all--the reader--when he discovers a bug is sabotaging his story in this laugh-out-loud picture book perfect for fans of Press Here.

Cody has just written an exciting story on his computer that he'd love to share with the reader--a.k.a. you!--full of adventures and intrigue and--AACK! What's that? A bug? How did that get here? No worries, an exterminator is here to help! But wait, it's not that kind of bug. It's a code bug! It can't be fixed by an exterminator, a handyman, or even a farmer.

Luckily, a programmer appears, but even she can't debug the computer. She and Cody need help...from the reader! Maybe if the reader turns pages really slowly or really fast the bug can't keep up. Or if they read in a funny voice, the bug won't understand. Can Cody and the reader find a solution before catastrophic system failure?!
