Book It

To leave quickly and deliberately.
Origin: Vietnam War. Bo di means leave and Chay means run quickly.

“Bo di chay” spoken quickly in Vietnamese sounded like “book it” to the U.S. soldiers.
When they returned home, they spread the term across the whole country. Which is

why everyone claims they used it growing up during and after the Vietnam war.

Book

A book is a thick peice of card board with pages inside. A book is made to read and enjoy. One of the most important thing they say Is "never judge a book by its cover". That means if the cover of the book looks bad, the adventure might not be bad. A book helps you grow imagination and creativity. If you don't read, you will be in bad health.
