The GooseDown #21 - Go Eat Worms!

This week's book is special for me, because it's the first one I remember buying at the book fair! Todd is the most focused character in the series so far, but nowhere near the most noble! The story has some particularly gross moments, great interactions, and focuses on set pieces familiar to the protagonist, a real departure from the "fish out of water" tempo and tone of most of the other books. All this, hyper intelligent bugs, and details on the newest shows on the SKP network!
