Absolutely No Body Parts

 

The Gross Busters team, Nick, Khenan, and their eleven-year-old sidekick Florrie, are raking in cash doing icky jobs other people have been avoiding. But when they uncover a secret that shocks the whole town, it stirs up a bigger mess than any of them could’ve expected.

Meanwhile, the young entrepreneurs are hiding some personal and family secrets of their own. It turns out there's a whole lot more to navigate this summer than the difficult and disgusting aspects of their work.

Rich with genuine emotion and laced with humor, Absolutely No Body Parts is a complex coming of age story. 

Absolutely No Body Parts has been called a perfect summer read for tweens and teens.

I LOVE the way readers are responding to Florrie; so far she's everyone's favourite character.
