Andy Griffiths, author of the Treehouse series I'm Tom Weekly and eating is my favourite sport. My mum's raspberry muffins are weapons of minor destruction. I've been trapped inside a runaway car on a trip to buy ice cream. I accidentally invented meatball bungee. And my recipe for chocolate mousse has a secret ingredient that you don't even want to know. What would you rather do? 1. Ride a shark or a rhino? 2. Kiss a dog or a cat? 3. Needle in the eye or bum set on fire? "Fans of Griffiths, Gleitzman and Jennings will be thrilled to have this in their collection."
