Descripción editorial
Get ready for a new kind superhero—a smelly one! An eleven-year-old boy with the power of super smelly farts and his new dog sidekick team up to defeat an evil alien scientist before he takes over the world! From New York Times bestselling author of Mighty Dads.
One day at P.U. Smellamentary, a regular kid named Phartolomew discovers his farts are super strong... strong enough to blow away some bad guys! But that’s not the only thing he discovers! He finds a hidden lab in the school basement that belongs to the nefarious Professor Gravypants, the evil alien scientist who created him. When the professor’s former minion Reeky Dog reveals that the Professor Gravypants is getting ready for world domination, Phartolomew decides to team up with newly-good Reeky Dog and use his fart powers for good.
With his new alien friend Reeky Dog by his side, Phartolomew is on a mission—to stink up Professor Gravypants’s evil plans to take over the world by becoming a new superhero called Fart Boy!
New York Times bestselling author Joan Holub teams up with celebrated cartoonist Rafael Rosado to create a hilarious (and odorous) new superhero tale.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Our story begins deep in the bowels of the evil institoot in Professor Groovypants's secret laboratory," intones the omniscient narrator of this goofy graphic novel, as Groovypants and sidekick Egor stand before the Phart-Maker-5000—a bean-fueled, green-smoke-spewing mechanical behemoth. The machine creates a prodigiously farting baby named Phartolomew, whose Superman-like origin story unfolds via uproarious clear-line drawings from Holub (The Eye of Cyclops) and Rosado (Call Me Iggy). In this spoof of classic superhero comics, Phartolomew is adopted by loving, bean-farming human couple Nancy and Newt Normal, who try to help their son fit in by living a legume-free life. But destiny is inexorable and, in fourth grade, Phartolomew eats a bean taco. With the help of Reeky Dog—a transmogrified Egor—Phartolomew embraces the identity of Fart Boy and aims to defeat evil Professor Groovypants by emitting "A NUCLEAR AIR BAGEL OF EPIC PROPORTIONS." An "Are You Evil?" quiz and a banjo-backed lesson on fart science add more gas to a story that approaches bottom-shelf derrière jokes with the gravity of the finest and fanciest of odors. Fart Boy and Professor Groovypants read as white. Ages 7–10.
