Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

Sir Fartsalot’s on a quest to defeat a villain most foul!

Things really stink in the Kingdom of Armpit. King Reginald the Not Very Realistic has had it up to here with his naughty son Prince Harry, who loosens the tops on all the Royal Pepper Shakers, teases the moat monster, and prefers magic tricks to rescuing fair damsels. Even Sir Bedwetter can’t rein in the prince’s Royal Clowning Around!

Enter Sir Fartsalot—the bravest, boldest, FARTIEST knight in all the land! Sir Fartsalot’s on a quest to solve the riddle of the Foul West Wind—a green, ghastly odor that turns up wherever danger’s lurking. Misbehavin’ Harry decides to play the biggest— and boogeriest—prank of all time! He convinces Sir Fartsalot that The Booger, a frightful, dreadful, repulsive villan, is on the prowl. Harry, Sir Fartsalot, and the knight’s old buddy Sir Knotaclew set out on a hilarious quest to rid the world of the Dreaded Booger, Once and for All!

My grandson does not enjoy the written word. So when he read this book without being encouraged everyday to do so, we were very excited. After he had read it to his mom it was given to my husband & me. He read it to me on a cruise and had a different voice for each character. Who knew Sir Farty could be so romantic!!!

My 8 year old boy and I really enjoyed reading this book together. He laughed the whole way through. It is a good, funny, exciting adventure. If your child likes Shrek, this is a book for him!

I homeschool my 8 yr old son and was a little worried about him reading this book. We read it together and were both quite sad when it was over. I would recommend this book to any boy (or girl) with a fun and vivid imagination.
Pictures are really good too.

We can't wait for the next Bolger book!??
