What's for Dinner, Mr Gum? is a highly ridiculous and humorous novel from the popular Mr Gum series. The protagonist, Mr. Gum, is the cruelest, dirtiest, and generally most unpleasant man in the fictional town of Lamonic Bibber. In this installment, Mr. Gum attempts a culinary scheme or faces a dinner-related crisis, possibly involving a disgusting meal or a plan to ruin someone else's food. It is, as always, up to the kind and determined young girl Polly and her friends to foil the villainous plot, resulting in maximum chaos and silliness.
