Who's the grossest kid in the world? Tommy Puke, that's who! He fights off bullies with his mighty loogies...conquers jerks with his powerful farts...and sticks up for his pet skunk by driving off wild dogs with his blistering bad breath. But what happens when Tommy meets Rhino Man, a barfing hero who's grosser than he is? What happens when Rhino Man shows off stomach-churning fighting moves that even Tommy can't match? What happens is this: Tommy feels inferior and decides to hang up his puke. But Tommy's best friend, Josh, won't give up on him. Josh gets the god of vomit, Chonganda, to let Tommy peek at his future as a grown-up. Will grown-up Tommy convince little Tommy to get gross again? Even if Tommy gets his mojo back, can he hope to defeat the mighty hair-horned Rhino Man and his bag of sickening tricks? One thing is for sure: the puke, boogers, loogies, poop, and goop will fly! Join Tommy Puke for action, laughs, and more disgusting gross-outs than you can shake a booger at!
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, selected as a Top Ten First Novel for Youth by Booklist.

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)!
