5.0 out of 5 stars Maggot Pie, October 5, 2006
It is every kindergarten's dream to pee in the piddle pool for a good luck school year. Unfortunately for Jiggy McCue, he missed his chance. Everyday since, he has peed in the piddle pool for his shot at good luck. One day when he reaches the magic number, he finds him self in the possession of a teenage genie. After foolishly wasting all his wishes in a single sentence, the genie is free to run-a-muck and has dedicated his soul existence to making Jiggy's life miserable. Jiggy starts to have terrible and maggoty dreams and he wonders if one day they might come true. When Jiggy isn't worrying about his dreams, he and his best friends Angie and Pete (The Three Musketeers) are becoming possessed by the genie and start to do terrible, terrible things. This Jiggy McCue adventure is wacky and full oh miss-haps. The only way to find out is to read it.
