Meet Boris

Boris Ate a Thesaurus is a story about a young boy who eats a thesaurus and suddenly starts speaking in synonyms. It isn’t long before Boris becomes the most celebrated, famous, popular kid in the world. He even gets invited to meet the President and deliver a big, giant, huge speech to the nation.

But, what happens when Boris’ words suddenly begin to disappear, evaporate, vanish? Will he disappoint, fail, let down his country?  Or, will Boris swallow his pride and eat another thesaurus?
