Bookroo's summary

Marcos, Leon, and their friend engage in a chilling contest, spinning tales of children who dare to taste the forbidden. As each story unfolds, the consequences grow more absurd and terrifying. From the eerie corners of Australia to the mysterious alleys of Italy and Eastern Europe, these boys push the boundaries of their imaginations. What happens when curiosity leads to danger, and who will tell the most spine-tingling tale? Discover the hilarity and horror that ensue when caution is thrown to the wind.

From the publisher

In short lines, large type, and text broken into phrases, three more stories are told. Marcos, Leon, and “I” try to out-do each other with warnings against tasting things that may not be safe. Dire consequences and ridiculous outcomes take the boys to new heights of hilarity in these spooky tales from Australia, Italy, and Eastern Europe.
