Maybe you lost a sock yesterday or this very minute. Who is to blame for this? Nose eater! A mysterious and elusive creature that devours one sock from a pair. This book has everything you wanted to know about nose eaters, and even what you would rather not know. A fascinating story about the struggle of crime clans of nose eaters and the friendship of these strange creatures with a half-mad scientist and a lonely trumpet player. Betrayal, love and adventure against the backdrop of dark streets, attics and basements. This is what happens when we leave home or go to bed! Thanks to the poet and writer Pavel Šrút and the illustrations of Galina Miklinova, nose eaters have already settled in almost every Czech home. Now, we hope, they will appear here and there with us. For children of middle school age.
