Joshua Wright: Plotless, pointless, pathetic

By MARGIE THOMSON

This is just the thing for those young readers who have devoured Captain Underpants and are looking for something equally as tasty. Yes, it's a chapter book, but it's pretty silly (quality silly) and the text is balanced by cartoons that enhance the storyline, which involves the noble knight Sir Glame and his faithful steed Bill, and their attempts to save the land of Sausagopolis from the Curse of the Saucy Scribblings. The once-magical land is now ringing with vulgar verses about snot, farts and other bowel-churning experiences. Very funny if you're aged around 8-10.
