About this book
Everyone is reading their favourite comics in the supermarket: the peas are loving the most recent issue of Mean Bean, and the veggies are gripped by the adventures of Kindly Kiwi.
Yet, when Evil Pea and Supertato both send off for different kits advertised on the backs of their comics, making them 400 times more evil and 400 times more kind, something terrible happens: Evil Pea becomes GOOD, and Supertato becomes EVIL.
It’s a shocking state of affairs for the residents of the supermarket: Eviltato goes on a rampage of chaos, threatening to squirty-cream the whole shop, and Superpea is no help at all, because he’s just... too nice.
Fortunately, the veggies discover the one way that the strange spell can be broken, and set about a stealthy hug attack. Will they manage to turn Eviltato back to Supertato, or will the supermarket carnage continue forever?
This brilliant Freaky Friday/reversal-style Supertato story is as hilarious as you would expect. It’s a fabulous series that continues to be fun, original and full of laughs, as well as always reminding us of the power of friendship, kindness and sharing.
