Children's Book Review: So Sick! by J.A. Mawter
Reviewed by Claire Saxby

Four sick stories kids are sure to love.




Have you ever wondered what it might feel like to wear jellyfish undies? Or seaweed undies? Have you ever been so worried about taking off your shoes that you miss the chance to win tickets to the movies? Do you know what Pee Pee Poo tastes like? And what's the connection between spelling and smelling?

This is J A Mawter's third collection of stories in the 'So…' series. So Sick!, from HarperCollins, is full of itching undies, smelly, scabby feet, chook poo and a shocking case of BO. By the end of the fourth story, the reader will also know the latin name for the common snail, meet the bug that eats bacteria and learn more than one way to spell a flower!

A perfect mix of humour and horribleness, these four stories are sure to appeal. For 8-12 year olds (especially boys).
