Part of Captain Underpants, book 7
George Beard and Harold Hutchins think their latest adventure is behind them. They're wrong. Mechanical mucus monsters have arrived, and these aren't ordinary boogers. These slimy invaders combine advanced robotics with nasal discharge to create the perfect weapon for planetary conquest. The robo-boogers spread across town, leaving trails of technological goo in their wake. George and Harold must find a way to stop these disgusting automatons before they succeed in their gross mission. The fate of humanity rests in the hands of two fourth graders who thought they had seen everything. But nothing could prepare them for an enemy that's both repulsive and relentless. The boys will need every trick they know to defeat foes that are part machine, part bodily fluid, and completely determined to rule the world.
