Product description

There are three new lunch ladies at George and Harold’s school, and there’s something not quite right about them… not to mention their new menu of Zombie-Nerd Milkshakes and Boston Baked Boogers. That’s because they’re INCREDIBLY EVIL TENTACLED ALIENS in school cafeteria lady disguise! Thank heavens for Captain Underpants. He defeated the diabolical Dr Nappy. He terminated the terrible talking toilets. But does Captain Underpants have the wedgie-power to take on three power-mad space aliens and their zombie legions… and to battle with the Giant Man-Eating Dandelion of Doom?

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books – the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children’s, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

    This book is about three aliens posing as cafeteria ladies and they start serving ‘different’ school dinners. I would recommend this book to 6-11 year olds

    This book was really awesome! If you love thrills and spills and action from a hynotized principal in a curtain and his underpants and flip-o-rama, you`ve come to the right place!
