The Extraordinarily Remarkable Diaries of Victor Veggiestein (part 1)
Imagine you’re a young inventor and your parents have gone on holiday without you. Your friends have left you in the lurch and it’s just you and a cellar full of vegetables you don’t like. Then it’s not surprising that you go in search of a new friend in the shape of a veggie creature brought to life in your secret Lab Cellar, or is it?
The decision – perhaps not very wise, but certainly remarkable – to bring a veggie creature to life forms the basis of the first part of a series of spine-chilling diaries filled with Veggie freaks, strange Neighbours, Creepy Creature Stores, Revolting Recipes and Unusual Events. For cheeky children aged 10 to 100.
Originally written by the remarkable 15-year-old Swedish author Acke Vaerle, who had kept a diary of his alter ego, Victor Veggiestein, since he was seven. Adapted by the Miraculous Story*Laboratory CircusPatz into a series of contemporary and especially cheeky books.

Reviews
The diaries are extremely entertaining. Highly recommended for parents and children alike! [trotsemoeders.nl]
The book reads very smoothly and you are soon totally absorbed by the story. Besides numerous funny incidents, there are enough cliff-hangers to keep things exciting. The authors constantly mix suspense and humour. [de Leeswolf]
