''It was never meant to feed the needy; but to serve up grief to the mean and greedy''

The
unfortunately named Albert Grub (A. Grub) has parents who are obsessed
by mini-beasts; there are insects in the fridge, woodlice living in the
hall and spiders dwelling in the cupboard under the stairs. But
everything changes one day when Albert discovers that his dad is heir
to the factory of the legendary Piddler''s Porridge. Why is the town''s
noodle King, and owner of the adjacent factory so keen to get his hands
on the Piddler''s place? Is he after the legendary Spoon of Doom,
believed to be hidden somewhere in the factory? And what can our
reluctant hero do to stop him?

A mix of quirky characters and
outlandish goings on topped with lashings of bugs and porridge, this is
a laugh-out-loud comic adventure that will appeal especially to boys.
