Product Description
A full-throttled adventure through the world of fast food. To date, 14-year old Eddy Tumble's greatest triumph consisted of scoffing a fat lad quarter-pounder in 39 seconds. A few weeks later, a rogue roast potato in his windpipe caused Eddy to collapse. Brought back to life by a race of accident-prone aliens, Eddy now finds himself fighting the mad owner of Gut Bucket Holdings, Marcellus Guzzle.
From the Author
As Toxic Toadburger approaches its one year anniversary it still stands out
as the first and only fictional tale for children that dares to tackle the
very real issues of child obesity and addictive fast food.
This is not finger-wagging fluff created by some publicity obsessed chef.
It is in all honesty nothing more than a sincere attempt by a father of two
to tackle the very child (and parent sensitive)issues of addictive fast
food and child obesity.
Although things are slowly getting better too many families still look on
food as nothing more than a quick-fix convenience pit stop.
This book does not preach nor advocate a life of organic lentils. Instead
it simply employs a slightly silly fun-packed action adventure as a tool
for advising children and parents alike to look a little closer at their
next meal.'
This said if you could see yourself to buying a copy you would go a long
way towards making a frustrated, first-time author in Berkshire very
happy.
Fingers Crossed!

It was during one unplanned homework blagging session at the nearby Gut Bucket burger bar that Thump accidentally unearthed Eddy’s unnerving capacity to eat a 'fat lad' quarter-pounder and chips in forty-six seconds flat. Convinced that this awesome display of troughing must be an unhealthy fluke, Thump insisted Eddy gave it 'another crack' at his expense. Thirty-nine seconds later Thump could be seen picking himself off the floor of the packed burger bar, having just witnessed Eddy destroy Graham 'gobbler' Griffiths' county record by a clear three seconds and a slice of gherkin...
