Betsy comes from a long line of proud book lovers. She traces her ancestors back hundreds of years when worms ate books because they could not read. But, once they learned to read, the worms fell in love with books and became bookworms – little worms that like to read more than anything else in the whole wide world. But Betsy’s world turned topsy-turvy. Bookworms became too busy watching TV, too busy playing video games, sending messages on smartphones and wrapping their little heads in earphones. Her bookworm friends wanted computers, iPads and Wi-Fi.They wished for mobile devices of all kinds. Not books. This is when Betsy decided to have a book revolution! The book takes children for quite a ride with Betsy as she saves print books, libraries and bookstores, multiplying the number of bookworms around the globe. Because of Betsy, books live!
