My 11 year old grandson said this book was really gross - and he loves it. I believe anything that keeps him reading is a good investment. He has already asked for another book of the same type.

My daughter loved this book. She loved reading about worms coming out of eyeballs. Her class loved it when she brought it into school and read them excerpts.
