About This Book

George and Harold are forced to contemplate a world without Captain Underpants.

Our Review

This action-packed graphic novel adventure finds George and Harold facing their greatest challenge yet—a world where their beloved superhero Captain Underpants has been erased from existence. Dav Pilkey masterfully blends time-travel antics with the boys' signature comic creations, delivering a story packed with toilet humor, clever wordplay, and high-stakes silliness that will have early readers eagerly turning pages. The book's signature flip-o-rama sections and plentiful illustrations provide visual engagement, making it particularly accessible for children transitioning to chapter books.

What makes this installment stand out is its surprisingly heartfelt exploration of friendship and creativity, even as the plot revels in the revolting antics of the radioactive robo-boxers. Reluctant readers will be drawn in by the irreverent humor and fast-paced format, while parents will appreciate how the story celebrates imagination and problem-solving. The emotional weight of potentially losing their hero gives the usual hijinks unexpected depth, creating a memorable reading experience that balances laughs with genuine stakes.
