About this ebook
Sam just loves sweet things - unknown to his mother, a dentist who thinks his favourite food is celery. When Sam wins a thousand giant rainbow lollipops, he's delighted.
But hiding his prize is only the first of his problems. The lollipops are all prune and mango flavour - and he quickly discovers that he can't stand them!
Children aged eight and over will enjoy reading about Sam's increasingly desperate and funny attempts to get rid of his lollipop mountain.

I'm a qualified teacher and librarian who has had seven children's books published in traditional form in the UK and USA. I've also had about sixty short stories published in British and Australian magazines.In 2012 I set up a child-friendly website, www.megamousebooks.com, to offer free children's stories, ebooks and printable puzzles. Five years later I created my second site, www.englishliteratureebooks.com, as a home for free abridged classic novels and classic poetry ebook collections. Keeping both sites going is proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one!

CHAPTER ONE
Alone at last…
Sam crept into his bedroom and closed the door tight. Then he listened.
Outside, he could hear the usual Saturday morning noises. Mum was whistling as she dug the garden. Laura was squealing happily in her buggy. Dad was singing to her out of tune, as he pushed her down the drive and off to the park.
At last the house was empty. It was Time.
Time for Sam’s secret…
Sam dived under his bed and pulled out the shoebox hidden far beneath. The label on the lid said:
SAM’S CARS
KEEP OUT! THIS MEANS YOU!!
Sam had stopped collecting toy cars when he was seven. The label was just to put his parents – and especially Mum – off the scent.
Mum must never know what was inside Sam’s box... because Mum was a dentist, and she would be horrified.
Sam paused with his hands on the lid. He could feel eyes watching him.
He glanced round guiltily. Tufty Toothbrush was glaring at him from the far end of the bed. Tufty Toothbrush was, of course, not real, but that didn’t stop him from being very disconcerting.
Mum had made Tufty herself, out of horrible blotchy orange and purple cloth. He was like a cross between a toothbrush and a bad-tempered fox. He had stumpy legs, stiff white bristles sticking out of the back of his head, and a badge saying
CLEAN YOUR TEETH!
Get lost, Tufty,
muttered Sam. He reached over and shoved Tufty under the pillow so that only the stumpy legs were sticking out. When Sam was little he had been a bit scared of Tufty. He had certainly never been very fond of him. Now that he was older, he couldn’t stand him.
He couldn’t throw Tufty away, though, because Mum was so proud of her creation. She used to tell Sam
