Summary

Tirzah’s people, the Israelites, have been in slavery to the Egyptians for many years. Tirzah and her lame brother, Oren, help gather straw to make bricks. She observes the suffering of her people and the injustices that are done to them by the Egyptian police. Moses begs Pharaoh to let them go, but Pharaoh makes them work harder.One night, when the plague of death strikes down Pharaoh’s own son, he allows the Israelites to flee on foot, only to pursue them with horses and chariots. He believes he will have them trapped between the mountains and the sea, but God miraculously delivers them. The Israelites celebrate with a song of hope and victory. Tirzah befriends a young Egyptian girl who has fled with them, even though others treat her badly. In spite of hardship and disappointment, Tirzah and her family keep trusting Yahweh to carry them through.

    Hello! I'm a book!I can say with all modesty that The Book That No One Wanted To Read might be the most important book of all time. Why? Because it’s the first book to have been written by a book. Most books are written by authors. Here is what some of them have to say about this book:“A very—very—funny book that’s also a playfully philosophical exploration of why we write and why we read.”—Mac Barnett, author of Sam and Dave Dig a Holeand What Is Love?“The book everyone should read … a hilarious but heartfelt guide to the power of the imagination in every child.”—Piers Torday, author of The Last WildA book that narrates itself! Richard Ayoade and a host of friends help this book tell its own story with multiple voices, music, and sound effects.
