Jimmy Dennet is a ten year old boy who's all excited when his dad installs a brand new technological wonder - a computer controlled toilet called the LAV 620. His excitement reaches boiling point as the mysterious invention slowly starts to talk to him. Jimmy's own words at the start of the story show us what's in store in this hilarious black comedy - 'About a year ago, my whole life was turned upside down. Sucked into a strange sequence of events, unbelievable, unspeakable things happened. And only now, by a weird twist of fate, can I tell my story at last...'

Excerpt from The Toll of the SandsWhen the juvenile court was first organized Paul De Laney was the courthouse reporter for a leading Denver newspaper. In those early days of the court the doors of my chambers, in the most secret exam inations, were never closed to Mr. De Laney. He never published the things that should not be pub lished, and those matters that should be published that would help the young court in those days, and the young who were so unfortunate as to be the subject of the court, he handled with a delicacy and a truth! Fulness that were of much aid to the court and humanity.When the first editions of the toll OF the sands were issued I was absent from Denver and did not get to see a copy until several days after the publica tion, but I felt that Mr. De Laney would handle the subject embodied in a Western novel in the proper manner and in the proper spirit. My wife and I have sinceread the novel and we find it one, not only true to the West and the Western type of life, but one full of genuine interest from the first to the closing para graph. It is a plain story of the great West that will live.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Gripper makes everybody's life at the school hell, especially Norris, who he particularly doesn't like because of his strange choice of clothing - his carpet.Norris, helped by his Mum and Dad, hatches out a madcap plan to rid the school of Gripper and his grandad. If 'Operation pink underpants' works, life at Vicarage Primary school will never be the same again. 'One of the funniest books I've ever read!' Korky Paul (Winnie the Witch)
