Astounding Broccoli Boy

The Astounding Broccoli Boy is the hilarious tale of an unlikely (and very green) hero believing in himself and finding adventure. Rory Rooney likes to be prepared for all eventualities. His favourite book is Don''t Be Scared, Be Prepared , and he has memorized every page of it. He could even survive a hippo attack. He knows that just because something is unlikely doesn''t mean it won''t ever happen . . . But Rory isn''t prepared when he suddenly and inexplicably turns green. Stuck in an isolation ward in a hospital far from home with two other remarkably green children, Rory''s as confused by his new condition as the medics seem to be. What if turning green actually means you''ve turned into a superhero? Rory can''t wait to make it past hospital security and discover exactly what his superpower might be . . . This edition of Frank Cottrell Boyce''s funny adventure features fantastic cover artwork and black and white inside illustrations from the incredible Steven Lenton.
