'The latest grossed out tale from Susan Berran, finalist in the 2014 Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards. The sixth title in Susan Berran’s Freaky series is as funny and as gross as the last. Just when Sam didn’t think things could get any worse, his best mate, Jared, becomes so sick he has to stay home from school for the entire week, leaving Sam on his own to face the suckiest week of his whole sucktacular life. With Toffee tugging at his nauseating nostril taffy, Abbey being crabby, Booga’s gigantic butt bugle and the rest of the cow-cuddling, sheep-kissing kids. It might be Jared that’s sick but by the end of this week it’s Sam who’s going to need the barf bucket. This book is a great addition to this series which has proved popular in the past, even with kids who consider themselves ‘non-readers’.' (Publication summary)

'Book number 5 in the hilariously disgusting freaky series. Kids are hanging out for each title in this very clever, hilariously funny series. It's grosser, weirder, funnier, and even smellier than the books that came before it. Take another brilliantly twisted adventure with Sam, Jared, and little miss dung daks smelly melly poop pants as they head off on holiday to the most dangerous place on the planet. But, is it really a holiday or a final resting place to get rid of annoying kids? With the poisonous puke plants, ferocious farting animals, tree swinging hippies, and Smelly Melly's deadliest fungus growing, chunky chuck-up nappies yet. This time, adventure is snapping at their heels, and they just might not be able to keep their stomachs' contents down.' (Punlication summary)
