  • The Boogerball

    Jardine Thomas

    language (, Nov. 2, 2012)
    Thump thump. Thump thump. Somewhere, in a school near you, the Boogerball is waiting to get you! Don't pick your nose, or it will suck the snot out of your nostrils! Will the Boogerball eat the entire town? Buy the book to find out!The Boogerball is a 24-page fully illustrated children's book about a booger monster that attacks people and feeds off their snot. It was a story my father used to tell me when I went to bed, and now I hope to pass it on to other children. It's been an incredible adventure bringing the Boogerball to life along with the help of the amazingly talented illustrator Ljubomir Babic. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did, and remember:​DON'T PICK YOUR NOSE!​Tom Jardine
