Quick Summary
Philip Ardagh serves up a gloriously gruesome adventure where nothing goes right and everyone is delightfully bonkers. Readers will giggle at ridiculous characters like Mad Uncle Jack and Even Madder Aunt Maud while Eddie navigates absurd situations aboard the POMPOUS PIG with a color-blind lady. If your kid loves Roald Dahl's twisted humor or the silly chaos of Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot, they'll devour these terribly terrific tales. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 7 who enjoy humor that makes them snort with laughter.
