Synopsis

Burger Boy by Alan Durant

Benny liked burgers. Benny LOVED burgers. Burgers were the only food that Benny would eat. You'll turn into a burger one day, his mum warned. And one day, Benny did. And that is just the start of a madcap chase in which the hapless Benny is pursued across the countryside by a mob of hungry dogs, boys and angry cows. An hilarious cautionary tale with a twist from a winning author and artist team.

Reviews
