Synopsis

A buddy comedy featuring a worm and a chicken-like bird that will have readers wriggling with laughter. Marcus is a worm. He likes the colour brown. He likes mud (because it's brown). And he likes digging holes in the mud-brown earth. Strangely, he likes beat boxing, too. But when Marcus meets Laurence (a scruffy, fat bird who looks a lot like a chicken ... and thinks he's a flamingo!), he comes face to face with his worst fear. Will he get eaten for breakfast? It is a Very Bad Situation. Marcus has two choices: Survive, Or get slurped up like a piece of spaghetti. Mustering all his worm instincts, he finds himself striking up a conversation. It's amazing how a simple Good morning! can end up saving your life... And so begins a tale of high adventure, wily tricks and unlikely friendship. Simone Lia has created a heartwarming comedy classic that will have readers wriggling with laughter.

Media Reviews
If you're a fan of `odd couple on a road trip' movies, then you have hit the jackpot with Simone Lia's new offering. [...] warm and funny story [...] The story generates genuine laugh-out-loud moments and, alongside the highly appealing illustrations, would make a brilliant read-aloud story for children. * The School Librarian *
This was overall a good book! So good, that when I put my book down to go to bed, I was thinking that what I read was exciting. * First News reader review *
Its so hilarious, funny and super sweet. This is a must-read book for every single bookworm out there. Even if you don't really like reading, I really recommend everyone to read this book. Honestly this is one of my personal favourite books ever! * zaparents.com *
[...] a paperback with illustrations that's the perfect hilarity-inducer for any primary school-age child (particularly in the six-to-nine-year-old bracket) but which, quite frankly, would also put a smile on even the Scroogiest grown-up face this Christmas. [...] charmingly absurd [...] * Bath Life *
