| book description |

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.
