Another great Measle adventure - and this may be the stickiest, slimiest, slurpiest one yet!
A blob of slime has broken out of the prison in which it has been kept for years. As it slithers in escape it slurps up everything in its path. Nothing is safe. Especially not Measle Stubbs. For the slippery stomach has gobbled up a gaggle of wrathmonks, and in doing so has ingested their dislike of Measle. Now the blob is after him. And nothing can stop it. Not Iggy Niggle. Not Nanny Flannel. Not Tinker the dog. But it has enjoyed eating them . . .
Can Measle gulp down his fear and beat the Slitherghoul . . . before the Slitherghoul gulps him down?Features- The fourth mega Measle book!
- Suave and handsome author - very good indeed for
author promotions and talks. (Playing the Saint in the TV series after Roger Moore did helps too!)
- A lead title, backed with impressive marketing and publicity spend.
- A rattling good story for boys and for girls.
- Distinctive and collectable cover.

"[Of previous Measle books:]
Ogilvy is a good inventive storyteller who writes with infectious enthusiasm . . ." - Jan Mark, TES.
". . . badder baddies, more dastardly plots, wicked spells - and what's more, our hero has his first bath in years!" - Sunday Express.
"The writing is perfectly pitched for children aged 9 to 12, with one-liners and witty jokes that will tickle the ribs of adults too." - Daily Express
"Brilliant. It's a work that's comparable to Roald Dahl" - Aberdeen Evening Express
"It's scary, very scary, but there's a good chance that Measle can save the day. Ideal for serialised read-aloud for younger children, or for competent readers" - Glasgow Herald
