Faster than a speeding waistband... more powerful than boxer shorts" its Captain Underpants!

George Beard and Harold Hutchins are students at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School where imagination is not allowed. When theyre told to create a retirement card for their evil teacher, Mrs. Ribble, they decide to create a comic book instead. It features everyones favorite accidental hero, Captain Underpants and new nemesis, the Wicked Wedgie Woman. She got to be the worstest, wickedest, wackiest way-out bad guy yet! And, horror of horrors, one quick pass of the 3-D Hypno Ring and (gasp!) she becomes real! What can our white-tighty wearing wonderman do against this, the wedgiest of women?

This is a chapterbook that could convince the most unwilling readers to reader, and treat the avid readers to a laughfest. It is potty humor at its most clever and engaging.
