My son is 8 1/2. I am desperate to get him more interested in reading. I think this book will help, this is one of my son’s absolute most favorite subjects, ever!
What kid doesn’t love to laugh about farts? In this rip-roaring tale, Jo NesbØ gives kids plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, as well as a hilarious adventure about a most excellent invention: fart powder!
Nilly is new to the neighborhood, but that doesn’t stop him from making friends with Doctor Proctor, an eccentric professor, and Lisa, the target of twin bullies Truls and Trym. Nilly and Lisa help Doctor Proctor develop his latest invention: farting powder. This new invention makes Nilly and Lisa extremely popular at school when they start selling it. They even create a brilliant plan for revenge on Truls and Trym by giving them an extra strength dose of fart powder that shoots them up into a tree. All is good farty fun, until someone steals the industrial-strength fart powder that was supposed to make Doctor Proctor famous, and use it for evil purposes. Can the dynamic duo help Doctor Proctor recover the potent powder in time?
Jo NesbØ is the most successful Norwegian author of all time. His books are published in 25 different languages around the world, and he is widely recognized as one of Europe’s foremost crime writers. Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder is his first children’s book.
