Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
When the parts of speech gather on the playground, Verb is always the star. Adjective, Adverb, and Interjection all watch admiringly. Then Noun comes along–and Noun can BE anything. But when a new threat menaces the playground, Noun can't move! There's only one part of speech who can DO something about it... and that might allow Noun and Verb to BE something together: friends.
