The Astounding Broccoli Boy

Even more laughs than Millions! If you turn green, does it mean: 1) You have plague. 2) You’re turning into a superhero. 3) You eat too much veg.

Stuck in a remote isolation ward with two other green kids, Rory is confused. So are the medics. Is it his genes? Or maybe a weird virus? Well – check out how much this book looks like a can of Green Giant sweetcorn. We’re guessing it might have a veggie superhero inside…
