Summary
All is not well at Chickenfeet Academy. Lord Revolting, murderous goldfish-flusher and creator of the mega-wedgie, seeks ingredients to take over the world, including Really Wimpy's pet rock! Henry Potty and his best buddies set out to rescue it, unaware the least likely character in the book has enticed it away for her own sneaky agenda. Henry struggles through Hobology and Extremely Dry History, preps for America's Funniest Fairygodchildren, and tries to avoid laundering Professor Snort's dreaded hankies, or worse, watching A History of Cabbages in Polish. All the while, he has his fan club ready, down to the exclusive "Henry Potty" toothpick holders, although none of his fans exist yet. Perhaps this fourth-rate Californian school can fulfill his dreams of fame and glory and Henry Potty exclusive limited offer boxer shorts. Or at least teach him enough to master the ultimate spell: Expecta Dinosaurus Purplus.
Unapproved, unendorsed, unofficial, and unstoppable: an award-winning parody for all the Harry Potter kids out there (including adults).
And what part does Socks the parrot, wisecracking pet of Headmaster Bumbling Bore, play in all this? Will Lord Revolting commit the ultimate villainy and spoil the book? Will this novel waste your entire morning when you could be doing something productive? There's only one way to know.
A laugh-out-loud, irreverent salute to everyone's favorite book. Silly, senseless, and totally nuts, for ages 2 to 222.
