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!??

Perfectly "silly" reading for a 7-year old. We're reading it together and both of us are getting some laughs - he more than I because it really has a very strange plot, if you would call it that. Entertaining nonetheless for a 7-year old.

This is the best adventure book I've read since '07. You've gotta read this story!! It is a must read for anyone who loves funny adventure stories and is not sensitive to crude humor. One thing I really liked about this book was that all the kingdoms and places were named after body parts. For example, the story begins in the "Kingdom of Armpit." My favorite part was when Harry, the prince, is captured by the two-headed giant and forced to eat lots of bread and drink a lot of tea. It was all part of an evil plan to fatten him up and turn him into "bird food." You'll have to read the book to find out how it all turns out.
If you buy the hardcover edition, then it has a awesome holographic image of Sir Fartsalot fighting the dragon on the front cover. I hope Kevin Bolger makes a sequel soon!!

I saw this book at a gift shop and, amused at the title, said outloud, "My son would probably love this book!" The shopowner said, "It is actually a really fun book." So, I bought it. My son could have read it himself, but after reading a few pages decided I'd rather read it to him. I'm still chuckling every time I think of it. It was a great distraction from the more serious aspects of life and I wouldn't trade the pleasure of hearing my son belly-laugh for anything! Thanks, Kevin!

Although I'm 21 years old I enjoy a good laugh every once in a while with what seems to be a children's novella. Sir Fartsalot Hunts The Booger is an epic tale of a prince named Harry (a real prankster) who is forced by his father to go with Sir Fartsalot on a journey on a beast so foul no one dares mention it's name... [whispers] the Booger. On their journey they run into many obstacles of imaginary proportions.
It's a cute book and reads a lot like Diary of a Wimpy Kid. There is a picture every few pages or so and the book is a little over 200 pages, but children fear not - it reads quickly. This book is very humorous both in it's content and it's language, any kid or adult can enjoy this novella and I'd reccommend it to anyone as a bedtime story. You've got to pick this book up!

First thing I'll have to admit is the title had me nervous. After the first few pages my fears were put to rest. I haven't enjoyed reading a book with my daughter this much since the first Harry Potter book was released. This is an marvelously original book full of fabulous adventures. I'm sure it will attract the attention of children of all ages!

SIR FARTSALOT HUNTS THE BOOGER. I've admitted before that I'm a sucker for a catchy title, and really, can a title get more catchy than that?!

Young Prince Harry of Armpit (get it?) has finally worked his father's last nerve. Now, he's been ordered to accompany a noble knight named Sir Fartsalot on a quest to find the source of the Foul West Wind, which mysteriously and frequently emits omens not long after Sir Fartsalot has finished a meal of turnips.

Since he must tag along, the prankster, Prince Harry, successfully convinces Sir Fartsalot he must track the latest and greatest threat to the Kingdom of Armpit -- the evil Booger.

Yes, I know, groans all around. But, just wait, there is a saving grace. The writing. Debut novelist Kevin Bolger plays with words the way his fabulous main character plays pranks -- brilliantly!

Bolger convinces the reader to turn just one more page. To find out what happens in the castle full of maiden princesses on the prowl, what happens in the Enchanted Forest, and how Harry of Armpit will get himself out of the mess he's created.

Every pun has a meaning and every meaning has a purpose in this fantastic chapter book that's fun for all ages.

My 9 year old son loved this book. Even though the title seems a bit rude, I still bought it for him and he really enjoyed it.
