While I enjoy gross-out books for kids, and I enjoy fantasy books for kids, rarely do the two genres really work well for me when they're combined. I don't have a lot to say about this at all except that it completely missed the mark for me on nearly all levels.
Loved the characters and the story wasn't bad. I was hoping for it to be a wee bit more fun, but it was an ok read and I think the target audience would love it.
