When we last saw George and Harold, they were about to take their pet pterodactyl, Crackers, back to the Cretaceous period in the Purple Potty time machine. But things didn't work out quite as they had hoped. They've entered an absurd alternative reality where teachers are nice, kids are allowed to read banned books, and the cafeteria food doesn't smell like dirty diapers. even worse, they've discovered alternative versions of themselves - Evil George and Evil Harold - who plan to unleash some preposterous plans on Piqua, Ohio. Now, it's up to George and Harold to defeat the evil twins and THEIR superhero, Captain Blunderpants.

About the Captain Underpants Series

Reading age: 6+ years

George and Harold are two bright yet - shall we say? - precocious young men. Yep, a couple of wise guys. The only thing they enjoy more than playing practical jokes is creating their own comic books, and together, they've created the greatest comic-book superhero in the history of their elementary school: Captain Underpants! George and Harold regularly come against the disapproval of their school principal, mean old Mr. Krupp, but with the help of Captain Underpants, they just might get the upper hand! The books in this series feature Dav Pilkey's own drawings - a running commentary of simple black-and-white illustrations that provide comic-strip appeal on every page.
