Cover of The Worst New Year's Book in the Whole Entire World, a funny New Year's picture book by Joey Acker featuring Nameless the Rock.

The Worst New Year’s Book in the Whole Entire World

WARNING: You are about to read the WORST New Year's book in the whole entire world!

At least, that's what Nameless the Rock™ thinks.

Nameless is back, and this time he's stuck in a New Year's book. And he is NOT in the mood to celebrate.

Countdowns? Party hats? Loud noises? Nameless would rather spend New Year's Eve doing absolutely nothing.

But apparently, that's not an option.

There's a talking clock wearing a top hat, a bunch of ridiculous party hats, and a celebration that keeps getting louder by the minute.

And guess who showed up?

Jerry Pumpkins. Of course.

This time, Jerry brought snacks.

Well, he calls them snacks. Nameless has some serious doubts.

All Nameless wants is a quiet evening. No parties. No countdowns. And definitely no more ridiculous holiday adventures.

But the clock keeps ticking, the countdown keeps getting louder, and escaping this terrible book is proving harder than expected.

Why is that clock talking? What's wrong with Jerry's snacks? And why does everyone seem so excited about counting backward?

Will Nameless finally make it to midnight? Or will this be the longest New Year's Eve in the history of the whole entire world?

With laugh-out-loud humor, unexpected surprises, and plenty of fourth-wall-breaking moments, The Worst New Year's Book in the Whole Entire World turns a cheerful holiday celebration into a hilariously unconventional adventure.

Perfect for New Year's Eve reading, holiday celebrations, classroom countdowns, family storytime, and young readers who enjoy silly stories, sarcastic characters, and unexpected twists.
