Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Pizza of Peril
There is something cheesy going on in the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle!
The rascally BADgers have escaped from jail again and they made an amazing discovery--a pizza mine! They love eating it, of course, and selling it to make money to fund their villainous plots. But there's a big the Loose Pebbles library is tipping over without all that pizza to hold it up. And if it tips any farther, the entire island of Great Kerfuffle will flip over into the ocean!
So it's up to Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face to save the day. But even with a shopping cart disguised as a horse, secret agent sunglasses, and an elephant who walks by at just the right moment, a surprise that's bigger and badder than ever throws them for a loop.
Will the island of Great Kerfuffle be no more? We can't tell you, because that would spoil the story!

The badgers have escaped from the town prison. After they get out, they find the abandoned pizza mines of Great Kerfullfe. When they mine for pizzas, the hole under the library gets bigger, and the library tips. It is up to Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face to save the little island of Great Kerfuffle from dropping into the sea. Join Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face on this hilarious adventure.
Opinion:
This book is super funny! My favorite line comes when Harry the badger says, "Has anyone else got a stupid idea?" It is a story that you want to read all the way through and over and over again. The story did a fantastic job keeping my attention. I couldn't wait share it with my siblings. I recommend this book for children ages eight to twelve years old.

I love all the other books as well as this one.
I love the humor in the book, and all the characters. I hope John Dougherty writes another Stink bomb And Ketchup grace book.
