{My thoughts} – George and Harold are regular goof balls at school. They enjoy pulling pranks and causing issues for those around them. They also spend a lot of their free time creating and distributing comic books called The Advenrures of Captain Underpants.

I’m this book they pulled a massive prank that took place during a football game. They thought they’d gotten away with it free and clear until their principal called them into his office. Once there he showed them a video tape of them being caught red handed!

The boys were forced to meet the principals demands. They were forced to allow themselves to be blackmailed by their principal. Their principal decided that he’d make a list of demands he wanted the boys to do. They more or less became his slaves.

After a few days the boys found a solution to their problem. If your interested in learning more about what they did, what their solution was and how they’d chose to handle their situation – you should totally read this book!

I found it to be a rather short but fast read and I greatly enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more books in the series in the very near future! ( )

Two elementary school boys causing mischief, playing pranks, and other assorted stuff gets them sent to the principals office more than other kids. I wonder how many parents have read this book? It is hard to get boys to read anything, these books boys find interesting and funny. I thought this book was very entertaining and funny. ( )

This series was one of my favorites growing up. I saw a guy in underpants on the cover, and I was sold before I even read a word of it. Especially with younger students, an eye-gripping cover is very important ( )
