Weakly Wormit and the Escape of the Gobblers - Fiona Hunter - Bog

Weakly Wormit had an appalling name and quite unkind parents. He was also very small for his age. He was bullied at school particularly after he accidentally dyed his hair green. Rescue came in the shape of Isabelinda, a friend in his class at school and the two of them embarked on an unexpected adventure. This involved letting long locked up monsters escape from a forbidden shed. The monsters then terrorised the village and tore out peoples hair whatever colour it was. Only Wormit with his green hair appeared to be unattractive to the monsters. Isabelinda and all the villagers are left bald and frightened to go out in the street. Only Wormit could roam the streets without being attacked. He had to find a plan to capture and put them back in their shed. Eventually he had an idea and he enticed them to attack a blonde wig which he had obtained. With this aid he managed to imprison them again and he buried the key of the shed so that it will not be found. He was now the hero of the village. The villagers hair grew back. Wormit's green hair faded. He was Isabelinda's best friend.
