Tammy is very upset when her favourite tomato sauce company goes out of business but her search for one remaining bottle leads to a close encounter of the shark kind.
Like many Australians, Tammy has tomato sauce on everything. Her parents are beginning to think her veins are filled with tomato sauce rather than blood. When Aussie Tomato Sauce, her preferred brand, goes out of business, Tammy trawls the shops to see if she can find old stock to keep her going for a while. Little does she know her love of that particular sauce is going to save her life!

Moya Simmons (Open For Business; Hello, God, Kate Here Can We Talk) is an experienced writer has created a lively story, supported by Grimwade's amusing cartoon-style illustrations.
