Uh, Wow: A Book About Barf

Holy cow! It's a book on vomiting in outer space!If you're under 14 (mentally and emotionally, which after all is most of us), you'll love these multifaceted stories about puking, ralphing, and giving up the lunch. Plus, they all take place on a journey to Vomitrius 9, the galaxy just beyond view of the Hubble Space Telescope, reported to have a planet just like Earth in it, except it's circling two suns and all the oceans and rivers and raindrops are pure vodka, and the only edible fruit is the orange. This book probably shouldn't be taken on long car trips unless you parents out there want to answer a lot of questions about alcohol poisoning and the dangers of underage drinking.The book contains graphic recipes for what to do with all-natural vodka and an endless supply of oranges.

Oustanding, thought-provoking reading for 10-13 yr olds

Blacklock has written a collection of very short stories highly suitable for reluctant boy readers. Very funny and very absorbing. Ideas flow across the pages like pearls
