Synopsis

Boobela is a giant - a young, shy and rather lonely giant. Worm is a worm - wise and opinionated, but above all, he's a clever and loyal friend. They live in a world that's a lot like ours, but not quite. When Boobela meets Worm, she has the chance to overcome her fears, pursue her strange and magical powers ...and have lots of funny, exciting and heart-stopping adventures with the kids at the balloon club, on her gran's magic island and at the beach.

 Book Overview: First title in a brand-new series for young children. Marks the debut of a talented new author with a uniquely witty and insightful voice. Feisty, independent characters leap off the page from the start. Equal appeal for boys and girl - but especially good for putting reluctant boy readers on the path to literacy and enjoyment of reading.

Author Bio
Joe Friedman has had a fascinating and varied life. Born in Chicago to profoundly deaf parents, he sold his first play at the age of 13. He moved to London after university where he taught Psychology and Philosophy in the field of adult education, before training as a psychoanalytic psycho- therapist. For the past decade, he has concentrated on his writing. He has scripted an autobiographical work which was performed with deaf actors, and has also written several television scripts (not yet produced), a film script, and a TV script. In his spare time, Joe writes and performs stand-up comedy. He lives in London W10 with his wife and daughter. Boobela and Worm is his first book for children. Sam Childs is a pseudonym. Samantha Bond is best known for her role as Miss Moneypenny in the Pierce Brosnan James Bond films. She trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 2004 she starred opposite Peter Davison in the ITV drama-comedy Distant Shores and in 2006 she returned to the stage in a new production of Michael Frayn's Donkey's Years (for which she was nominated for an Olivier Award). She has read many audiobooks, including those by Agatha Christie and Philippa Gregory.
