Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Badness of Badgers by John Dougherty

Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Badness of Badgers by John Dougherty

A hilarious send-up of fantasy quest novels, perfect for fans of Adam Gidwitz and Jon Scieszka. 

Welcome to the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle! 

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 it: 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, containing:  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.

John Dougherty was born in Larne, Northern Ireland. Before becoming a primary school teacher, he studied psychology at university and then tried his luck at a variety of jobs, including working in a YWCA shelter, as a machine operator in a factory, and as a failed singer. As John was teaching classes, his interest in children's literature resurfaced, and he quickly began writing stories and lobbying editors to publish them. Following the publication of Zeus on the Loose (2004), he abandoned teaching and pursued full-time writing, albeit with fewer recreos. These books have been finalists for a number of prestigious awards, including one named one of the Best Books for Kids in 2011 by The New York Times, but the most important thing is that they help children save money.

Illustrator David Tazzyman.
