Product Description
Product Description
A highly entertaining and hilariously gruesome comedy thriller – beans on toast will never be the same again!
Book Description
Fergal is a self-confessed nerd with an eccentric hobby: tin collecting. He likes the lucky dip aspect of buying tins that have their labels missing - after all, you never know what might be inside. It's Fergal's idea of living dangerously. That is, until the day he innocently opens up a tin to find . . . a bloodied human finger. Everyone thinks it's a joke. But not Fergal - and when his next tin discovery is a note with the word 'Help' scribbled on it, he feels compelled to track down the factory responsible for these mysterious and macabre products. Fergal might be hungry to play detective, but has he opened a can of worms . . . ? This Dahl-esque black comedy will have readers squirming on the edge of their seats. Funny, frightening and totally gross - Alex Shearer taps into the repulsive-but-appealing tradition of urban myths that are perennial playground fodder.

I thought this book was really interesting. Me and my sister both really enjoyed it. I don't get how anyone could give up reading it because it just makes you want to read more and to find out how the strange things are getting in the tins.
Format:Paperback
I honestly think this is one of the worst books I have read. The dialogue is stilted and unrealistic, and honestly not worth the read. We have to read it for English and I wish we would read a real example of good writing... so boring. Maybe younger children would find it more interesting, but not one for teens.

What an interesting subject for a story
My mother had a knack for knowing what was in a tin with no label; this story takes it to another level. Intriguing easy read for 10+ readers with a "Dahl-esque" ending. Read more
