Mightier Than the Sword
(2018)(The first book in the Mightier Than the Sword series)
A novel by Drew Callander and Alana Harrison
"Hilarious, fun, and wonderfully insane! It's more than just a book--it's a book you can play!"
- Kristen Schaal of Gravity Falls, Bob's Burgers, The Muppets, Captain Underpants and Toy Story 3 & 4
Wildly funny and inventive, this interactive book pulls you, the reader, into the action. Yes, YOU!
You wake up in the fictional land of Astorya, where stories from our world come to life. You're a real human being (we assume), and in this fictional world, that makes you a superhero. Armed with your trusty pencil, you have the power to create: what you write, draw, or scribble in the book becomes part of the story!
Only you can rescue Prince S. from the evil Queen Rulette. Aided by the Couriers--a French stoat with dangerous dance moves, a giant dung beetle, a fire ninja, a Pegasus-centaur-cowgirl and a super-intelligent femalien chameleon--you must write, draw, and puzzle your way through a hilarious adventure and prove that the pencil is mightier than the sword.
Readers and reviewers praise Mightier for being "wholly original," "in a category all its own," "not like any book I've ever read before," and "an experience like no other." Others compare it to:
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
The Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
The Hitchhiker's Guideto the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
The Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell
The Day My Butt Went Psycho by Andy Griffiths

Reviewers have also hailed Mightier as a "great gift book," saying "kids are going to love it" and "grab it for birthday gifts."
