Description

Welcome to the world of Great Kerfuffle where you'll meet Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face, the intrepid heroes who set off on a silly and mildly perilous adventure. This stupendously hilarious book filled with dodgy badgers and a funny collection of characters is sure to make you laugh your socks off, and quite possibly your ears too. It's a perfect send-up of fantasy quest novels for fans of Adam Gidwitz and Jon Scieszka. Great Kerfuffle is really great. And there's usually a kerfuffle (the clue's in the name really). This particular kerfuffle started the day Stinkbomb's twenty dollar bill went missing. Stinkbomb and his little sister Ketchup-Face know exactly who took the badgers. After all, they're called badgers because they do bad things; otherwise they'd just be gers. They bring news of the badgers' treachery to King Toothbrush Weasel (don't get us started on the story behind his name…), who sends them on a quest to rid the land of badgers. What follows is a full on kerfuffle-fest, one deep dark forest, a grocery cart in distress, a song about jam--and, of course, a band of very tricky badgers. Be prepared to laugh your socks off, and maybe your ears, too.
