This is a silly, punny, goofy adventure about a sentient paper clip trying to take out all life. Great action scenes complete with sound effects on the page. My eight year old read it and said it was nice and short (though it's pretty long so must have just felt short) and funny and she wanted me to read it too! So we read it together in one sitting!
