Eyeballs for Breakfast

by Margaret M. Ragz

YUCK! DAD'S IN THE KITCHEN...AND MURPHY'S IN A JAM!

Murphy Darinzo can do no wrong--until he gets into trouble for dunking Ashley Douglas' pigtail in a pot of gray gooey glue. He just wanted to teach her a lesson! But now everyone thinks he has a crush on the snooty new girl at school. As if that's not bad enough, Murphy's health-nut Dad has been cooking breakfast--eggs without yolks...EECH!--so he can't even count on a good meal! How can he hope to compete with Ashley and win the "Cooperation Contest" at school? What's a guy to do when he faces eyeballs for breakfast and troublemaking girls at lunch?

Right after I graduated HS, my father and I moved into a small old house that had been vacant for years. It was winter and we didn’t have a means of transportation yet. We spent the first two weeks cleaning up the place. I found a copy of this book in a cupboard, damp and caked with dust. We didn’t have internet or cable at the time so it was a little gold nugget of entertainment for me. I cleaned and dried the pages then read it in a day. Sweet nostalgia.

Honestly, I enjoyed this little book way more than I should have. I would recommend it for young readers for sure! It is the kind of silly story I would have liked to read at a younger age, during the ebbs of my Harry Potter obsession, of course.

Disappointingly very few eyeballs were eaten for breakfast.
Not a bad story though.
