Thomas has very itchy nipples. It's really embarrassing. It's the most embarrassing secret he's ever had.

So the question is – why are his nipples so itchy? Is it a rare and special gift or the worst thing to EVER happen to a boy?

Only one thing is certain. Thomas and his best friends are in for an adventure that will take them from the sunshine of Australia to the streets of Paris . . .

Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and wrapping very serious stories inside them
