Gross George

"HE'S EVEN MORE HORRID THAN HENRY!" 'GROSS GEORGE' - Book 1 introduces the world to George Grubbington and his family. Right from the start there is no mistaking that George is not necessarily what might be termed, 'an acceptable human being'. He is GROSS! REALLY GROSS!!! Chris Gamble's first book see's George off to school; meeting his friends; receiving the first of that week's detentions; him getting his revenge on Mr. Walsh, the teacher that gave him the detention; and in turn, Mr. Walsh getting his revenge on George, when he makes him Class-Captain. This event involves George's hard-done-by parents insisting that he must finally take a shower! Something absolutely, totally unheard of!!! GROSS GEORGE is an hilarious story, packed filled with Chris White's brilliantly comic illustrations, and is sure to attract both Middle Grade and Reluctant Readers.
