About this book

George and Harold are back—along with Captain Underpants—in a wild, time-twisting adventure packed with comic mayhem, robots, and ridiculous laughs. When a villain’s time-travel scheme upends everything, the boys must outsmart danger across past and future to set things right. Fast-paced chapters, cartoons, and Flip-O-Rama action make this a hit for kids who love goofy humor and high-stakes silliness. Great for reluctant readers and fans of Dav Pilkey’s over-the-top, imaginative antics.

Setting: time-traveling adventure spanning a postapocalyptic future, the present day, and the distant past
