    Children's audiobook - from cover a boy's face in scuba gear surrounded by flies
    Can anyone tell me the name of an audiobook I got from the library in Holywood Ireland in the 90s, I think it was a series of Australian cautionary tales but I could be misremembering about it being all Australian.

    The cover of the audiobook was a boys face in scuba gear surrounded by flies, from one of the stories about a boy whose father sells manure. There's another story about a boy losing his tooth down a 'dunny' and it being found at a sewage plant, one about sticking your hand into compost and feeling something grab you I think and one about a boy who loses his clothes whilst on a cross country run...

    Any tips or help are appreciated.

    There is such a series by Paul Jennings. Unreal is the one you remember.
