ALL the fun and madcap adventure of  THE FART THAT BROKE WORLD BOOK DAY  continues in this planet-hopping, fart-powered-spaceship-shaking, laugh-out-loud story!

When Saskia is captured by aliens who plan to turn her into a human fart-machine, Perks, Jezza and Leslie blast off on a mission to bring her back down to Earth. Things get even more complicated when they discover the spaceship holds some top-secret cargo? a gadget that the most dangerous, double-crossing villains in the galaxy are in hot pursuit of?

Throw in a pitstop at the universe’s worst restaurant, a visit to the Milky Way Museum of Oddities and a deeply strange encounter with a praying mantis wearing a big bouffant wig and sparkly platform booties and it’s truly an  OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD adventure for our heroes. But when the mysterious gadget falls into the wrong hands, the kids must be the heroes the universe needs? and could the day be saved by one teeny, tiny  FART? The Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for young readers who love brilliantly silly stories.

• Packed with pictures by Stephen Mangan’s sister Anita Mangan.
• Escape the Rooms,  The Fart That Changed the World,  The Great Reindeer Rescue  and  The Day I Fell Down the Toilet  have been huge bestsellers: Stephen and Anita are comic dynamite.

It’s Christmas Eve and one of Santa’s reindeers, Dave, is FED UP. He’s stuck behind boastful Rudolph again and a fart-in-the-face is the LAST STRAW.

In the commotion, Santa crash lands on the roof of nine-year-old Holly’s home causing an almighty Christmas lights explosion that blasts the reindeers to far-flung corners of the Earth. It’s up to Dave and Holly to fly round the world to rescue all the reindeers.

“Filled with humour […] genuinely funny situations which younger readers will delight in as they root for the story’s hero and heroine as they battle to save Christmas ? Wonderfully illustrated by [Stephen’s] sister, Anita, making this a very appealing choice for readers in KS2 ? this would also make a wonderful shared bedtime read, with adults enjoying much of the humour too”  Jacqui Sydney, book blogger

“From the very first page, readers will laugh out loud at this off-the-wall tale of Santa’s newest reindeer, Dave, and the trouble he (unintentionally) causes when Rudolph is boastful one too many times … The Great Reindeer Rescue is one hilarious event after another – just the thing for middle grade readers this December!” Kate Heap, book blogger

Disaster!

The Queen of Dunny, the land where jokes come from, has lost her sense of humour and banned fun of any kind. Her subjects have one final shot at making her laugh otherwise NO NEW JOKES will be created EVER AGAIN!

Enter the hero the world needs.

Timothy Trench: straight-talking, uber-decisive child genius… oh, wait. In an unfortunate case of mistaken identity, the wrong Timothy – a boy who finds it impossible to make decisions – is fetched to make the Queen laugh.

Can he work out what will tickle Her Majesty’s funny bone and save the day?

A wildly imaginative, brilliantly silly adventure that’s overflowing with toilet humour!

A high-energy, brilliantly silly, fully illustrated festive adventure story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist Anita Mangan.  

One of Santa’s reindeers, Dave, is FED UP.

He’s seething about having to spend Christmas stuck behind Rudolph, who is forever droning on about his role as the Star of the Show. Most of Santa’s OG Reindeer Crew (Blitzen, Prancer et al) have retired or been fired in disgrace, leaving some rookie reindeers to take the sleigh reins.

This Christmas Eve, Dave is behind Rudolph in the procession flying ahead of Santa’s sleigh, and is the recipient of a fart-in-the-face that is the LAST STRAW. He unclips Rudolph’s harness, and Rudolph blithely flies off, monologuing away to himself.

Santa makes an emergency landing on the roof of 9 year old Holly’s family, where her dad is wobbling about on the roof trying to switch on the exterior Christmas lights. The lights explode and blast the reindeers to far-flung corners of the Earth. Holly must fly Dave around the globe rescuing the reindeer from various outlandish situations – one is on a beach in Tahiti and has no intention of putting down his cocktail and working flat-out all Christmas eve, thank-you-very-much, one is perched precariously on top of the Empire State Building, one has landed slap bang in the middle of the icy Arctic, perilously close to a very hungry polar bear. Rudolph has made it to Las Vegas and has a sell-out one-reindeer show to put on.

Can Holly and Dave work together to return the reindeers to Santa and SAVE CHRISTMAS?

Leaving behind a big problem: Fabian isn’t really the brains behind the crown: it is the butler… how will dithery Fabian manage to pull off this high-pressure event alone? His small and smelly fart looks like it will kick off a crisis…
