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.
