Description
What happens when Tommy Puke, the grossest kid in the world, takes his new friend, Josh, on an epic quest to find the fabled prince of vomit, who might just be Tommy's brother? Action, laughs, and more disgusting gross-outs than you can shake a booger at! Will Tommy and Josh find the prince, otherwise known as the Boy with the Golden Barf? Will his golden barf make them rich? Will he welcome Tommy Puke to the family? Or will Tommy and Josh find themselves in over their heads in the sewer in a deadly battle with the only person more stomach-turning than Tommy? One thing is for sure: the puke, boogers, loogies, poop, and goop will fly! And Josh must gain the power of the secret Eighth Emanation—a magic bodily fluid far grosser than any known to mankind—to stand a chance of surviving. Don't miss this hilarious and action-packed gross-out adventure from award-winner Robert T. Jeschonek, author of the young readers' fantasy My Favorite Band Does Not Exist, named a Top Ten First Novel for Youth by Booklist magazine.

About the Author
When Robert Jeschonek writes the adventures of Tommy Puke, does he base them on personal experience? He’s not telling...but he does think gross stuff is hilarious, and he’s never changing his mind. He writes other stuff that isn’t so gross, like Batman and Justice Society comics and stories about Doctor Who and Star Trek...but he’s got that bathroom humor deep down in his soul. If that makes him a friend of yours, visit him online at www.thefictioneer.com. You can also find him on Facebook and follow him as @TheFictioneer on Twitter. And never forget: NEATNESS COUNTS (NOT)!
