What did the judges think?
Judge MG Leonard, bestselling author and vice president of the insect charity Buglife, said: "Disgustingly gruesome and gut-churning - my son devoured this book in one sitting. It's filled with easily digestible facts about the human body presented in a unique, fun tone that will appeal to any child with a gross sense of humour."
