Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot: Color Edition (Captain Underpants #12): From the Creator of Dog Man

In this final color installment of the wildly popular series, George and Harold's clever scheme of using time-traveling doubles to handle schoolwork while they play video games hits a major snag. The boys discover a threat to all humanity that's somehow even more foul than their usual bathroom humor adventures, emanating from right there in Ohio. Dav Pilkey's signature blend of absurdity and heart is on full display as the fate of the world hangs in the balance, proving that even the simplest plans can go spectacularly wrong when evil gym socks are involved.

Longtime fans will appreciate how Pilkey masterfully escalates the stakes while staying true to the series' core appeal of friendship, mischief, and gloriously gross humor. The dual narrative with Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold adds delightful complexity to the chaos, creating twice the trouble and twice the laughs. Readers who've grown up with these characters will find this colorful conclusion both satisfying and bittersweet, marking the end of an era for chapter book humor that never takes itself too seriously.
