Blueberry pie girl chimes in next. “Did you know that Cleopatra lived closer in time to the invention of the smartphone than she did to the building of the Great Pyramid?”

Um, I didn’t know that either. Definite Devices may be onto something here. I’m getting VERY NERVOUS about this now. And that’s when Ms. Sullivan walks in.

“Excuse me, Harry,” she says to a boy who has just shoved a crumpled-up page from his Edible Book into his mouth. “Why are you EATING YOUR TEXTBOOK?”

“Rits ra rediba ook,” Harry mumbles.

“Excuse me, Harry, but I can’t understand you with your mouth full of paper,” Ms. Sullivan says.

Harry reaches into his mouth and pulls out a disgusting, drippy, half-chewed wad of paper. “It’s an Edible Book, Ms. Sullivan. I can eat it instead of reading it.”

“Yes, well, that’s very nice, Harry, but in this class we read our books,” Ms. Sullivan says. “You may eat whatever you like at lunchtime.”

Okay, so I can see how Edible Books are going to be way more popular with kids than with teachers.

The kids in history class who have Edible Books quickly slip them into their bags and pull out their regular textbooks.

My next class is science. And again, when I walk into the classroom I see about five kids ripping pages from their books and shoving the paper into their mouths.

I can’t wait for Mr. Palnacchio, my science teacher, to see this. He’s a pretty serious, by-the-book kind of teacher. And by “by-the-book,” I mean the kind of book you have to read.

“Check this out,” says Brian Josephs. “A flea can jump one hundred and thirty times its own height. If a person could do that, he would be able to jump seven hundred and eighty feet into the air.”

“I got one,” says Mary Jane Murphy. “If you farted nonstop for six years, you would create enough energy to destroy a building!”

“Well, you’d certainly empty the building, that’s for sure,” Mike Stevenson adds. He tears out a page and shoves it into his mouth. “But check this out. The tentacles of a giant Arctic jellyfish can grow to one hundred and twenty feet long!”

A girl named Stella goes next. “Cats can make over a hundred different vocal sounds. Dogs can only make about ten. I think my cat Loafer can make about a million.”

Judy Geralds eats a page and then announces, “Did you know that three percent of the ice in the Antarctic is made up of penguin pee?”
