Synopsis

In their second book of adventures, Boobela discovers all about Worm's family after a busy day at the beach; Worm invents a clever bet to get Boobela to eat proper food (instead of crisps and pizza); Boobela tries to prove how brave she is by camping out in the Haunted Wood; and the friends encounter the belching giant - a volcano which holds a precious secret deep within. Along the way, we hear more from Boobela's mum and dad, learn how to make a compost heap (Worm-style), find out what sports worms like to play ...and learn a little more about the best kind of magic there is: the magic that's inside the heart and mind.

 Book Overview: BOOBELA AND WORM was included in several retail promotions and has sold over 6500 copies since March 07. A second collection of witty, insightful and charming stories from a highly-talented children's author with a unique and original voice. Beautifully illustrated throughout in full colour by acclaimed artist, Sam Childs, this book is a visual delight. Ideal transition between colour picture books and junior novels. Reading aloud to children has been Jacqueline Wilson's primary focus as Children's Laureate with widespread media attention. 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. In addition to four stories, each book will also contain cartoons and insights into Boobela's and Worm's families, friends and interests. Huge potential for audio, and for adaptation on TV/film and as merchandising.
