Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy is the fifth explosively silly and highly unconventional novel in Dav Pilkey's series. The story continues the absurd adventures of fourth-graders George Beard and Harold Hutchins, who accidentally turn their mean-spirited principal, Mr. Krupp, into the ridiculously costumed superhero, Captain Underpants. In this installment, a freak science accident involving a snot-powered invention creates a formidable new villain: the gigantic, gooey, and thoroughly disgusting Bionic Booger Boy. The narrative is a non-stop barrage of slapstick humor, bathroom jokes, and Pilkey’s signature "Flip-O-Rama" animation pages. The book is a celebration of subversive creativity, childhood rebellion, and the fun of making your own rules. It is a hugely popular series that promotes reading for pleasure, using extreme silliness and anarchic humor to engage even the most reluctant readers.
