School Library Journal What do you dread eating the most? For one young boy, it's peas, but he's discovered a solution. "I closed my eyes tightly and sent out a wish That the peas would somehow disappear from my dish And something quite strange and mysterious occurred, As if somehow... somebody... somewhere had heard." He makes a bargain with a fiendishly funny monster who will eat the boy's peas in exchange for a soccer ball. But with each new encounter, the monster's demands escalate. Eventually, our hero faces a daunting decisioncan he conquer his loathing for peas, or will he lose his most prized possession?

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
