Students have been reporting being attacked by books throughout the classrooms. The books have been flying off the shelves as if they were thrown, and end up hitting and injuring the students. This serious issue has left many students traumatized.

“I was doing a planning sheet for my essay in English. Next thing I knew, I was being attacked by hard covers and paperbacks,” One anonymous student said.

The student only had a couple of bruises compared to the other students who were attacked. The worst injury left the student with a terrible concussion and many paper cuts from head to toe. 

“I can’t use hand sanitizer, and looking at books in the hospital reminds me of the incident. I am afraid that I will never be able to read the same way ever again,” The very injured anonymous student said.

The books have given their motive for this abuse, stating, “Flap, slam, flap flap, slam,” which translates to, “We are bent out of shape from the mistreatment we get from students, literally.” 

Many English teachers have witnessed these brutal attacks and have been defending students from the books. “My students were brutally assaulted by a flock of books flying off the shelves. Luckily, many students got out of the classroom unscathed with only a few paper cuts. It was frightening…communicating with the books to try to get them to stop was practically impossible,” Laurie Ranum, an English teacher at Delta High School, said.

Not only are English classrooms being affected by this, but also other classrooms are in panic too. History books are falling off the shelves onto unsuspecting students, giving out concussions left and right, and attacking with the force of the American Revolution.

The books will continue their revolution with their built-up rage from the years of mistreatment they have suffered. Their rage brought them to life, so they will continue to attack until their point of view is brought across.
