'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)
