Princess Twilight Sparkle has always liked to read. Much more than go outside that's for sure. But when her duties as a princess become more than just smiling and waving, the purple pony is having trouble finding time to just sit down and read. When her friend Rainbow Dash suggests a book to Twilight that she can't even read the title, Twilight refuses. Rainbow Dash is horror stuck by her friend. Twilight was the pony who showed Rainbow Dash the joys of reading, and Dash can't imagine what Twilight would be like without her books. But Rainbow Dash isn't giving up that easy! Now the athlete must show her friend that you can't judge a book by its cover, no matter how battered the book is.
