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
