What is Disgusting Dave and the Flesh-Eating Maggots about?

Dave’s Aunt Dora thinks he is utterly disgusting because he loves talking about snot, sick and his flatulent dog. But Dave is really fascinated by the human body and creepy-crawlies. When a parcel of live, flesh-eating maggots arrives, his scientific curiosity soon causes chaos. The wriggling creatures escape, and Dave must stop them before they munch their way through the neighbourhood. Can he control the hungry maggots before his exciting experiment becomes a truly revolting disaster?
