The Cave Downwind of the Café tells the story of Glumfoot saving the day once again in a brilliantly disgusting tale about hungry bellies, bogey broth, and human-eating ogres from award-winning author Mikey Please.

Every night, Glumfoot dreams of delicious meals, but he is served the same thing: his dad’s bogey broth. He is overjoyed one day to discover the new café at the edge of the woods. However, when a very hungry ogre decides he’ll eat the owner, it’s up to Glumfoot to save the chef and his dreams of ever having a good meal.

Revisit the Café at the Edge of the Woods and join Rene and Glumfoot once more in their gloriously gruesome culinary world, where you're never quite sure what's on the menu—or who the customer will be...
