Boobela and Worm Summary

Boobela and Worm by Joe Friedman

Boobela is a giant - a young, shy and rather lonely giant. Worm is a worm - wise and opinonated, but above all, he's a clever and loyal friend. They live in a world that's a lot like ours, but not quite. When Boobela meets Worm, she has the chance to overcome her fears, pursue her strange and magical powers ... and have lots of funny, exciting and heart-stopping adventures with the kids at the balloon club, on her gran's magic island and at the beach.

Boobela and Worm Reviews

'Young children everywhere will delight in the adventures of Boobela and Worm.' * PUBLISHING NEWS *
'a very sweet collection of stories set in a land of forbidden caves and haunting castles... an enchanting storybook for younger readers with charming illustrations by Sam Childs.' -- Becky Stradwick * THE BOOKSELLER *
'In Boobela and Worm, the shy lonely giantess has no friends until a worm tells her that her feet stink. This is an excellent beginning, and the tone of affectionate honesty is kept up... Joe Friedman's Worm is so gentle, funny and wise that it comes as no surprise to find that he unlocks Boobela's ability to heal others... There are not enough good books for this age range, and Friedman's sympathetic approach will make this one to re-read.' -- Amanda Craig * THE TIMES *
'The pictures and interesting typography make the book an ideal stepping stone between picture books and novels... one to reread.' -- Amanda Craig * THE TIMES *
'combines quirky originality with gentle simplicity in the text and in Sam Child's images.' -- Nicolette Jones * THE SUNDAY TIMES *
'gentle, warm-hearted stories.' * WRITE AWAY *
'charmer of a short story collection with an old-fashioned feel.' -- Justine Crow * FAMILIES SOUTH EAST *
'Great pathos and humour' * ANGELS AND URCHINS *
'delightful' -- Susan Archer * WOMEN'S WEEKLY *
'charming' * IRISH EXAMINER *
