Synopsis

Step aside, Andy Griffiths, there's a new kid in town—and he's bringing his gigantic booger collection with him A series of surprisingly funny, adventurous, sometimes gross short stories. They're linked by the main character—a kid called Tom Weekly—and his friends, family, and dog who show up in each adventure. From talking poo to a terrible accident with false teeth, and rehydrating a gigantic booger collection to one seriously angry magpie, these stories will make you snort with laughter and cringe in embarrassment. A nail-biting—no, make that toe-biting—thrill ride through one boy's life.

Review:

"First in a planned series, this novel affirms a truth adolescents need to be reminded of: that true cool comes from within and can't be obtained with a credit card."  School Library Journal on Mac Slater Hunts the Cool

 "A good choice for kids drawn to the upside down and out-and-out disgusting, and they will also learn a bit about Australian culture along the way."  —Booklist
