Bookroo's summary
Arthur is confident he'll win the Super Chimp Comics contest, believing his sister Violet can't read. But Violet has a secret—she can read, and perhaps even better than Arthur. As the contest approaches, Arthur must confront his assumptions and the unexpected talents within his own family. Will his certainty lead to victory, or will Violet's hidden skills change everything? Dive into a tale of sibling rivalry, unexpected discoveries, and the power of underestimating those closest to us.
From the publisher
Arthur is sure he will win the Super Chimp Comics contest. He’s also sure his sister Violet can’t read. But Violet can read, maybe even better than Arthur.
