Warning: This book contains nickers . . . but NOT the frilly kind! It's summertime in Great Kerfuffle and Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face are off to the Loose Chippings library. But right in the middle of chapter seven, they suddenly find themselves in chapter nine!! What the heck is that all about? With Ninja Librarian, Miss Butterworth, trapped in chapter eight, our intrepid heroes journey through a bizarre collection of stories, meeting various pirates, zombies, animals, and Draxxar the Doombringer, in their quest to find their friend. But who on earth could be behind this evil and wicked story mix-up? Well, I'll give you a clue, they're stripy, they're black and white, and they're definitely NOT zebras . . .

I bok nr. to i serien om Stinkbomba og Ketsjuptrynet sitter de grufulle grevlingene i fengsel, men så klarer de å rømme, og de hemmelige agentene Stinkbomba og Ketsjuptrynet og Den lille handlevogna (som ikke er en hest!) må jakte på dem. Snart skjer det skumle ting med biblioteket i landsbyen Steinsprut - det er i ferd med å velte! Kan det ha noe å gjøre med den legendariske, forlatte pizzagruven som grevlingene har oppdaget under bakken? Og så dukker det opp noen nye, enda mer pøbelaktige grevlinger som virkelig skaper trøbbel for søskenparet. Følg med i de vanvittige, herlige verdenen på øya Store Ståhei! Lettlestsjanger med illustrasjoner.

Velkommen til den lille øya Store Ståhei, der vi møter søskenparet Stinkbomba og Ketsjuptrynet! Sammen med den litt surrete kongen Kong Tannpuss av Røyskatt og Den lille handlevogna (som ikke er en hest!) drar de på jakt etter de grufulle grevlingene. De er så pøbelaktige og stjeler, velter søppelspann, jakter på høner og liker av og til å bosette seg i tunneler. I en lekende, fantasifull, humoristisk verden der det skjer veldig mye rart, er humoren i disse bøkene herlig naiv, overdreven og sammenliknes med Monty Python for barn. Bøkene om Stinkbomba og Ketsjuptrynet har gjort stor suksess i England og en rekke andre land, serien er nå på fem bøker, og Gresvik Forlag gir ut bok 1 og 2 i høst. Lettlestsjanger med illustrasjoner.
