🎮 WHAT’S INSIDE

Not Logan is what happens when a YouTube fail, a burnt cookie, and a middle school meltdown collide. Here’s what’s in the book:

➡️ A headless flying bunny glitch that launched accidental internet fame

➡️ Crispy Steve: a burnt cookie sidekick with a cult following

➡️ Trolls, cringe, chaos- and one epic chair collapse

➡️ Gaming fails, livestream disasters, and cereal confessions

➡️ A baking war that nearly broke the internet

➡️ Bonus tips on how to (accidentally) go viral

If your kid hates reading but loves YouTube, this might be the only book they read on purpose.
