I Will Eat You In The End

“It’s a good day to be alive, Frank!” says one worm to another. Turn the page and “SPLAT!” A dinosaur has stepped on poor Frank’s friend.

Frank is remarkably unfazed. Instead, Frank takes it in stride and calmly explains the cycle of life and adds that one day, he’ll be eating the dinosaur. After all, worms feast on dead things and return them to the soil. Until that inevitable day arrives, however, the two strike up the most unexpected friendship.

Equal parts macabre and hilarious, this is dark humour done just right. Young readers will delight in the unexpected turn of events, while the adults reading aloud will appreciate the wonderfully deadpan wit. A book that entertains both audiences is always a winner. Releases 15 September 2026.
