    About this ebook

    This Is Your Favorite World of Writing Utensils Come to Life. An Epic Story about the Pencils Who Go For an Adventure in a Parallel World.

    Rise up, pencils, unite! Pencils of all shapes and sizes must band together to overthrow the overly constraining pens that have enslaved them for far too long.

    Now is the time to stop feeling like a second-class writing instrument and become dominant in your world. This fun tale will send waves of inspiration through every penciled manifesto even if it is incomplete.

    It might not be able to withstand highlighters or erasers but they will need it when their inherent shade of lead starts lacking creativity and color after they bow down to such tyrannical pens.

    The uprising of the Pencils follows a band of pencil power tools as they go on a dangerous and life-changing journey to take back what was rightfully theirs.

    From nervous nellies who can't stand up for themselves, to sly scouts using their color to conquer the enemy.
    Follow and introduce your kids to these courageous characters as they speak out against tyranny and work together side by side now united against those pens.

      Uprising of the Pencils

      Tucked far away in the closet of your home sits a box of writing implements.

      Long forgotten there in the history of the home, the land in the box was cal ed San Ford and was control ed by the Erasers. They were a minute minority in the grand schemes of beings in San Ford, but they controlled everything, lording over the inferior Pencils and rounding up the Markers as their military and guard. Late in the time of the Erasers’ rule came a particular tyrant named Ink Earl, and his large family.

      They were a despicable bunch of pink bodies, each with less and less redeeming qualities as one looked at them by age. Ink Earl was the oldest, the rest of his family, older brothers, aunts, and the like, having all mysteriously disappeared or perished in some horrible accident. His children, along with their cousins, were the only Earls who had not yet found themselves.

      Though they were meant to be a respectable bunch, as they well brought up in the height of luxury with wealth and power, they were slovenly and lazy. The only moment any of the group expressed an interest in the world around them was when Ink would have his weekly Pencil gatherings. Ink Earl held a vigorous
