Filthy Fergal is a happy lad, not bothered at all by the effect of his putrid stench on everyone around him. When even the rats and cockroaches are driven out of town by his aroma, Fergal sets out to find somewhere he belongs and discovers that even a boy like him can find a place to call home.

Another hilarious tale from the author of My Dead Bunny, which was shortlisted in the CBCA Picture Book of the Year Awards 2016.
