About this book
In the final, full-color Captain Underpants adventure, George and Harold team up with their time-twisted doubles to outsmart a very smelly new scheme at school. When their gym teacher hatches a mind-control plan, the boys must rely on quick thinking, comics, and courage to save the day. Packed with flip-o-ramas, jokes, and wild action, it’s perfect for fans who love goofy humor and fast-paced stories. Great for middle-grade readers ready for a slightly longer, laugh-out-loud chapter book.
