Elise Gravel

See below for English description.

Elise Gravel souhaite sscrire un livre totalement ennuyeux. Ses personnages, eux, veulent se dechainer… Qui sera vainqueur?

Detrompez-vous, le titre n'est pas une metaphore: ceci est reellement le pire livre du monde. L'auteure-illustratrice Elise Gravel, recipiendaire du Prix litteraire du Gouverneur general, embarque les lecteurs pour un voyage inattendu a travers le livre le plus ridicule ayant jamais existe!

Les personnages de l'histoire sont rapidement agaces par le manque d'imagination de l'auteure… Ils se rebellent donc contre ses figures de style qui manquent de mordant et ses mauvais choix en lui lancant des injures dans le but d'attirer son attention et de guider le recit vers une direction plus interessante. Ils n'ont rien a perdre puisque, de toute maniere, ils sont coinces dans le livre pour l'eternite.

A mesure que la vraie nature des personnages prend le dessus sur leurs traits ennuyeux concus par l'auteure, cette histoire se transforme en un recit unique! Avec les creatures bizarroides d'Elise aux commandes de ce livre, absolument TOUT peut arriver.

Elise Gravel wants to write a totally drab book; her characters want to let loose. Who’s gonna win?

Don’t take the title as a metaphor: it really is the worst book ever. Governor General Literary Award winning children’s book author and illustrator Elise Gravel takes readers on an unexpected journey through the world’s most boring book. The story’s characters and readers alike quickly become annoyed by the author’s bland imagination and rebel against her tired tropes and stale character choices, spouting sass in an attempt to get her attention and steer the narrative in a more interesting direction. After all, you don’t even have to buy the book, but the characters? They’re stuck in there for an eternity, and they’re going to do their best to make the most of it, or at least have a little fun where they can.

As the charming and bizarre true nature of the characters overpowers the dry attributes given to them by the author, this once blase story quickly picks up speed, transforming into something much more unique than originally promised. With Gravel’s signature goofy characters behind the wheel, no silly twist or rude bodily function is off the table!
