GALAHAD SCHWARTZ AND THE COCKROACH ARMY

Young Galahad lives in the jungle. He plays with snakes and crocodiles.

Then everything changes. He’s sent to a big city slum!

There he confronts evil. But he also finds magic!

You’ll boo the exterminator! You’ll cheer for the cockroaches!

Galahad Schwartz calls a South American jungle his home. His parents are adventurers and Nobel Prize-winning authors. But when they fail to return from an expedition in their hot-air balloon Galahad must leave the jungle to live with his grandfather in a North American slum.

 

Galahad Schwartz and the Cockroach Army won the Governor General's Award, Canada's highest book prize.
