Of all of the naughty, mischievous, disrespectful, and downright horrible things that children can be, a badling is perhaps one of the worst. Badlings abandon books without finishing them, leaving their characters sad and lonely—not to mention angry. Meet Bells, Peacock, Rusty, and Grand, four ragtag friends convicted of this monstrous crime. As punishment, they get sucked into a book of unfinished stories, whose patchwork pages they must traverse...and read to the end this time.

From readers:

"I only meant to glance through this, but hours later I finished. I have been dissatisfied with the world I live in ever since."

"There's an almost cathartic quality to your writing, as if the reader is expected to ride along this exorcism from the mental shackles of linear stories foisted upon elementary and middle school kids by straight-laced yet well-intentioned educators."
