Bookroo's summary

A young boy is convinced he's coming unglued when hair falls out, toes peel, and strange things emerge from his nose. Is he unraveling, or is it all normal? With humor and a touch of grossness, this tale explores a child's wild imagination and fears about his body. Will he find reassurance, or is he truly falling apart?

"I think it was three days ago I first became aware--That in my comb were caught a couple pieces of my hair. I stared at them amazed, and more than just a bit appalled to think that I was only five and starting to go bald."

— from the book

From the publisher

First, his hair started falling out. Then skin started peeling from his toes. Some stuffing came out of his belly button, and a piece of something gray and wet-his brain?-fell out of his nose. Is this normal? Or is this boy coming unglued? With a perfect combination of humor and grossness, this look at one boy’s farfetched fears will have readers laughing their heads off!
