Bogies, baddies, bagpipes and bums! Farting, false teeth and fun! George witnesses something rather disturbing from his bedroom window late one night. People are disappearing fast and no one seems to care. Why are the people of Little Pumpington so miserable? Why has his evil teacher started smelling of wee? Why is Mr Watt so fat? Why does Mr Jolly the Janitor collect hundreds of pairs of false teeth in a cupboard in his workshop? And what will happen when mad Kenny sticks two crayons up his nose? During detention George discovers a secret stash of soggy tea-bags and a hundred boxes of broken biscuits hidden in a mysterious tunnel beneath the school. Can Gorgeous George (who's not really gorgeous at all) solve these mysteries with the help of his Grandpa Jock, the wild-haired ginger Scotsman before Grandpa Jock deafens the whole town with his bagpipes? Oh, and do not try the 'burning brown bag of poo prank' at home! You have been warned! A young boy, George Hanson, and his young-at-heart grandpa (Jock) take on the evil Mr Watt and his power plant, after the old people in town begin to go missing.A book filled with bums, bogies, farts and all of the silly, disgusting things that young children, especially boys enjoy. Written to encourage even the most reluctant readers, especially boys to engage with and enjoy reading. A fun, silly and crude adventure packed with equal amounts of action and laugh out loud moments. Beneath all of the fart jokes and childish humor the book deals with the themes of renewable energy, recycling and sustainability, all be it in a humorous and entertaining way.
