Sneezing, sniffing, snoring and snots! Zombies, zebras and zits! A chemical experiment by the military has gone wrong and the toxins are now airborne. The pupils of Little Pumpington primary school are breathing in the gas and their behaviour is becoming bonkers. Do you still pick your nose? Do you sit next to someone in school who stills picks their nose? Do they eat it, even in secret, underneath their hand when they think no one else is watching? The Little Pumpington nose-pickers are taking over the school and their own bogies are not enough any more; they need to eat everybody else’s too. These psychotic snot-zombies are on the rampage, feasting on the nostril contents of the entire town and the army will do nothing to prevent them. Can Gorgeous George, Allison and Crayon Kenny find a cure before the military decide to blow up the school? With the help of Grandpa Jock, Ben and Barbara and a box full of the tissues, they must stop the snot-zombies biting their booger-crusted fingernails to the bone. Parents will not be able to read this book. This book is for strong-stomached children only so no wimps need apply. This is last taboo known to mankind and way beyond the comprehension of adults. The older you are, the yuckier this book will be. You have been warned! Must.....have....bogiieeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Stuart’s uniquely entertaining readings are wild, wacky, crude, rude and hilariously fun for everyone involved. There are plenty of bogies, farts and false teeth flying. And because he talks to little people a lot, he has developed the ‘Ninja Signing Stance’, in order to come down to their eye level.
