The American reincarnation of The Office first aired all the way back in March 24, 2005 and not only managed to release 9 seasons with 201 episodes until its end in May 16, 2013, but also win over hearts of millions all over the world. With such iconic characters like Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute, the will-they-won’t-they romance between Pam and Jim, it was no wonder that the combination of humorous situations in such a, seemingly, mundane setting quickly turned The Office into a fan-favorite. Even after the show concluded almost a decade ago, Netflix shared that in 2018 people who watched the show were 7.19% of all Netflix’s viewers and it became their most popular show for a time.
This year will see The Office’s 15th anniversary and just in time for that Robb Pearlman wrote a children’s book that is the perfect way to introduce a completely new wave of fans into the series. Illustrated by Melanie Demmer, the book put the beloved characters into a new setting – elementary school and focuses on the challenges of Michael Scott, the line leader.

The synopsis of the book reads:
“Michael Scott is Line Leader at Dunder Mifflin Elementary! It’s a very big job, but Michael is sure he can live up to the “World’s Best Line Leader” title printed on his water bottle. There’s just one problem–Michael doesn’t know how to lead the line. Filled with colorful, detailed illustrations and brimming with Easter eggs and nods to iconic moments from the show, this hilarious reimagining features a pint-sized cast.”
