The Story of an Appendix on the Loose.
Illustrated by Terry Denton.

Trevor knew the man in the green coat was going to stick a knife into him. He was going to cut open Trevor's belly and take out his appendix.

"What do you do with them?" asked Trevor
"With what?" said the doctor.
"Appendixes and tonsils and things."
"Burn them," said the doctor.
"I want to keep mine in a jar," said Trevor.

And he did, until . . . the appendix broke loose and really crazy things started to happen. Trevor and his appendix just had to be together.
