Benjamin is a worm who wants more from reading than the tomato-splotted newspapers his family enjoys.

Benjamin’s journey also brings in the idea of being different, with discoveries and challenges forming part of the adventure. The book is described as an illustrated story for young children, with a worm protagonist at its center.
