Enter best pal Nellie Lovett, who has very creative ideas for making the mess disappear. But then Fleet High bad boy Ryan Plouf threatens Toby and Nellie. Suddenly, Ryan is missing, too, and local cop Tarron Littey is asking some very inconvenient questions. Meanwhile, Toby's parents threaten to put him in a gay conversion camp. Can Todd and Nellie save Toby before the cops discover just what happened to Fleet High's worst? To find out, dig in and devour Todd Sweeney. And yes, it's okay to use your hands.

Praise for this book

"A zany, cannibalistic farce just right for the YA crowd but adult enough for older readers." -- Jerry L. Wheeler, Out in Print

"A helI of a book. So well done. It will pull your emotions, knowing what some kids have to go through. I loved Todd. He knew what people were doing was wrong, and he wanted to make it right. There is humor and most of all, love and acceptance, the most important of all. An outstanding read. I really loved it." -- Becca Waldrop, Love Bytes Reviews

"There's a lot going on here and it all comes together to remind us what a fine writer David Pratt is. Get a copy of Todd Sweeney and enjoy the read." -- Reviews by Amos Lassen

"Sex and violence snuggle up between the covers of Todd Sweeney, a discomfitingly delicious new novel that reads like a lost John Waters movie. This Grand Guignol comedy serves up ample helpings of cannibalism, onanism, blood-soaked sex and conversion therapy. Think "Riverdale" with raunch. Amidst the comedic mayhem, there's a surprisingly effective eroticism at play. -- Jim Gladstone, Passport Magazine
