A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Stuart Reid is 43 years old, going on 14. Throughout his early life he was dedicated to being immature, having fun and getting into trouble. Occasionally, after scoring a goal in the playground Stuart was known to celebrate by kissing lollypop ladies, and he once broke his nose by running into a lamp-post with his jumper pulled up over his head. Although not musically gifted, Stuart has the ability to play music using only the pumping noises from his armpits. Stuart once lobbied the British Olympic Committee to have `The Wedgie' recognised as a national sport, creating both the `Giving' and `Receiving' categories and the scoring system with (skid) marks for technical merit, artistic impression and the durability/rippability of the underwear. He is allergic to ties; blaming them for stifling the blood flow to his imagination throughout his twenties and thirties. Stuart was forced to spend the next 25 years being boring, professional and corporate. His fun-loving attitude was further suppressed by the weight of career responsibility, as a business manager in the retail and hospitality industries in the UK and Dubai. Stuart's legs suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which means he has to wear shorts at all times. His mid-life crisis offered a return to immature madness involving bogies, bums, burps, songs about poo and running about his snow covered garden in only his pyjamas. Stuart has been married for nearly twenty years. He has two children, a superman outfit and a spiky haircut.Stuart Reid is a new children s writing talent who is rapidly growing in stature. Gorgeous George & The Giant Geriatric Generator is his first book and also the first in the Gorgeous George series. There are 4 other Gorgeous George books already written, to be published over the next two years. The follow up, Gorgeous George & The ZigZag Zit-Faced Zombies was released in January 2013. Stuart is one of the busiest children s authors around having embarked on a full time book reading tour in January, appearing at between 5 and 10 schools a week. So far he has read to over 30,000 children, and presented at well over 200 schools since August 2011. Stuart is a member of the Society of Authors and is a member of The Scottish Book Trust. The Wigtown Book Festival described him as: Absolutely Brilliant!

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Sneezing, sniffing, snogging and snots! Zombies, zebras and zits! A chemical experiment by the military has gone wrong and the toxins are now airborne. The pupils of Little Pumpington primary school are breathing in the gas and their behaviour is becoming bonkers. Do you still pick your nose? Do you sit next to someone in school who stills picks their nose? Do they eat it, even in secret, underneath their hand when they think no one else is watching? The Little Pumpington nose-pickers are taking over the school and their own bogies are not enough any more; they need to eat everybody else s too. These psychotic snot-zombies are on the rampage, feasting on the nostril contents of the entire town and the army will do nothing to prevent them. Can Gorgeous George, Allison and Crayon Kenny find a cure before the military decide to blow up the school? With the help of Grandpa Jock, Ben and Barbara and a box full of the tissues, they must stop the snot-zombies biting their booger-crusted fingernails to the bone. This book is for strong-stomached children only so no wimps need apply. You have been warned! Must.....have....bogiieeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
