{My thoughts} – George and Harold decide to take a hint from their science teacher. For their newest prank they decide to create an exploding cupcake recipe and deliver it to the school cooks. The cooks decide to make a huge batch and you guessed it, it makes a huge mess. All the school cooks decide to quit their jobs.

George and Harold get in trouble and are banned from the lunch room. I’d have to say in their case it’s a rather convenient punishment. Harold and George quickly learn that the new lunch ladies aren’t on the up and up. They go to tell their principal what they learned and of course he doesn’t believe them.

If you’d like to know what happens in the remainder of the book, you’ll need to read it. I really enjoyed reading through to the end and look forward to reading the next book in the series soon. ( )

Humour

Read this one third in my journey to further appreciate graphic novels (and CU, specifically).

This one dragged on too long and wasn't nearly as funny as #1. ( )

When George Beard and Harold Hutchins the merry pranksters of Jerome Horwitz Elementary School concoct a scheme to fool the school lunchroom cooks into whipping up a batch of exploding cupcakes as a birthday surprise for the principal, they have no idea of the catastrophic consequences that will follow. At the time when the big “KA-BLOOOOSH!" comes, their school is invaded by extraterrestrial aliens bent on world domination who turn their classmates into obedient lunchroom zombie nerds! In a desperate move to save them, the entire planet, and Captain Underpants, George and Harold use alien EXTRA-STRENGTH SUPERPOWER JUICE to give their underwear wearing principal real superpowers (gasp) which leads to incredibly graphic violence in FLIP-O-RAMA™ in this delightfully silly third episode of the Captain Underpants series.

"Det är något skumt med de nya mattanterna på skolan. De liknar mest förklädda rymdvarelser och maten de serverar förvandlar folk till zombienördar. Ska George och Harold lyckas övertyga rektor Krupp om att detta är ett fall för kapten Kalsong - innan de alla blir rymdslavar?"
