3. Mum has prescribed a strict chicken nugget-only diet (Seriously?!)
It's time to put his new survival skills to the test . . .

Reviews
This story is incredibly funny - hilarious in fact and a laugh out loud book throughout. From reading the first page I decided to read the whole story to my seven-year-old son who had just returned himself from a school residential trip. Without any exaggeration he was rolling on the floor with laughter and tears cascading down his cheek within the first two minutes - I have never read a book to him which had quite this effect * The Bookbag *
Side-splitting escapades from the master of revels... * Lancashire Evening Post *
This book is a non-stop comical disaster ride. Ideal for kids who find bodily functions, scabs, bogeys and toilet humour hilarious * Booktrust *
I have been searching for a story to read to my class on our next 5 day residential and The Chicken Nugget Ambush will be my book of choice as I know children will absolutely love it * The Bookbag *
