I love the Jiggy Mccue books and still read them despite being at the grand old age of 24. I enjoyed this book but didn't find it to be as 'snort out loud' hilarious as many of the other Mccue adventures. My favourite remains The Poltergoose, which never fails to crack me up.

A BIT ABOUT THE STORY:
Originally published as Maggot Pie
When Jiggy was 5 he was supposed to pee in the Piddle Pool the night before his first day of school for good luck, but he couldn’t. He thinks this is reason for his bad luck. Over the years Jiggy has peed in the Piddle Pool in the hope that it will change his luck. Now the Piddle Pool is going to be covered over and made into a car park so Jiggy tries one last time to change his luck.... and releases a genie named JR who is a really mean genie. JR doesn’t help Jiggy get good luck, in fact he only makes it worse....
MY FAVOURITE PART:
The best bit of this book was my mum’s reaction to Jiggy eating Maggot Pie. Thank you JR!!!
WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK?
Not to people with queasy stomachs.

I read this to my 10 year old son. This is the fourth Jiggy McCue story we have done and he has enjoyed them all.

It was enjoyable as kid. Not sure if I would read this as an adult though.

At the age of 25 I still enjoyed reading this and cringed at some of the happenings. A few bits did make me laugh out loud.
