When originally launched in March 2007, Boobela and Worm sold over 12,000 copies and instantly achieved a raft of glowing reviews.Widely acclaimed as the ideal transition between picture books and chapter books for young readers.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).Brand-new package retains the character of the books but offers a format which is more familiar to parents and to the trade - the Boobela books will now sit alongside early readers on the fiction shelves.Competitively priced at 5.99 - great value for 128 pages of full colour.Feisty, independent characters leap off the page from the start.Equal appeal for boys and girl - but especially good for putting reluctant boy readers on the path to literacy and enjoyment of reading.

Huge potential for audio, and for adaptation on TV/film and as merchandising.Highly promotable author who has an excellent website at: www.boobela.com.
