Description
Spud is the terror of the track. But he stacks his BMX and dies. Dies? Not quite. Two feral brain surgeons bring him back to life. Now he, or rather his brain, lives in a vat in Snood's Salami & Smallgoods store. It's all a bit weird really...
Quick Summary
Imagine a BMX legend who crashes, flatlines, then wakes up with his brain literally sitting in a deli counter surrounded by salamis, which is exactly the kind of gloriously bizarre premise that makes this book impossible to put down. Kids will geek out over the ridiculous characters, the gross-out factor of a brain in a meat shop, and the absurd logic that makes absolutely no sense yet somehow works perfectly. If your kid likes the twisted humor of "The Witches of Karres" or anything by Terry Pratchett, they'll absolutely devour this. It's ideal for kids in grades 9 through 12 who appreciate weird, darkly comic stories that never take themselves seriously.
