Our story begins with the rumble of war as Sam, a young germ, is conscripted to fight in the Germ Army. Their ultimate goal? To attack the boy in striped pyjamas who comes into the bathroom each day.

When the boy in the striped pyjamas fails to wash his hands one day, the germs seize their opportunity to attack, only to be met with the friendly Antibody Army. A great battle ensues, but which side is Sam really on?

An hilarious look at the germs that live with us every day and their battle to take control of our bodies with a message - BE SURE TO WASH YOUR HANDS!

Fold-out battle scenes of the army charging from a toothbrush and into the cavern of the boy's mouth are equal to the story's tongue-in-cheek epic tone. -- School Library Journal
