Summary
★★★★★ "My 10 year old daughter is a voracious reader and this one really hit a high note for her. She has been giggling to herself throughout . . . If I ever manage to get hold of the Kindle she has claimed I will read it myself now."The Grotty Spoon is not what you'd call a normal restaurant.- The food is revolting- The service is slow- The chairs are uncomfortable- The toilets are infested- The dishwasher is a Yak called Fee Fee- Every night something goes disastrously wrong in the kitchen- And it's a holiday hotspot for jet-setting bacteriaMr Sprout, the cruel owner and talentless Head Chef, is as cold-hearted as a dead lizard. He'll do anything to win a Golden Placemat Award. So when Mr Sprout goes looking for a Yumma Yum Bird, the Trainee Chef attempts to make a deadly curry, and Pierre the waiter is left to entertain the Awards Inspector, a recipe for disaster begins to bubble that will undoubtedly end with a gloriously gross BANG!!! (But on the bright side the E-coli Family will have a delightful holiday).This grotty eBook, self-illustrated with over thirty pencil drawings, is hands down the grottiest story ever told! If you enjoyed Roald Dahl's The Twits or David Walliams' Mr Stink, you'll love The Grotty Spoon.

He is the bestselling author of the EXCUSE ENCYCLOPEDIA and the TRUTH OR POOP SERIES.James likes whiskey, squirrels, reading silly books, playing his bass guitar, and Greggs Sausage Rolls. He does not like losing at board games or having to writing about himself in the third person.
