Description

The unmissable follow-up to BOB VS THE SELFIE ZOMBIES, perfect for fans of DAVID SOLOMONS, DAVID BADDIEL and GREG JAMES & CHRIS SMITH.

AI is threatening to take over the world, and our last hope is a 12-year-old boy called Bob.

Bob, an accidental time-traveller, should be doing his homework but instead he's bouncing in and out of the year 2049 - and life in the future seriously stinks!

When Bob's science class experiment goes wrong, he causes a global aroma-virus pandemic - also known as the farting flu. The grumpy school inspector has his eye on Bob and detention looms. But Bob's got bigger problems.

He must face robot gorillas, an evil computer and giant patrol insects to save the world from a very farty future...?

Hold your noses for an adventure to the year 2049 and back!

Advance Praise

Praise for Bob vs the Selfie Zombies:

"An instant hit. Bold, clever and funny, with writing that absolutely sizzles. My kids and I are now confirmed fans of Andy Jones, who weaves a smart time-hopping tale around his instantly likeable characters. I'm already looking forward to whatever he does next." - P.G. Bell, author of The Train to Impossible Places

"You'll cry tears of laughter, tears of sadness and tears at Dad's terrible jokes. But you'll be smiling while you do. Brilliantly bonkers." - Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?

"I have three rules about writing for children: avoid zombies, talent competitions and time travel. Andy Jones has broken all three rules and yet somehow created a rip-roaring time travel comedy adventure. In the future, this book might actually save the world." - David Solomons, author of My Brother Is a Superhero

"Funnier than a book about zombies has any right to be. Laugh-out-loud time travel adventures don't come along often - I hope Andy's going to continuum." - Olaf Falafel, author of Trixie Pickle, Art Avenger

"This super entertaining time-travel adventure features a sweet and funny hero in Bob, wrestling to save the future from selfie-taking zombies. I loved it! It's a cracking read - a time-twisting romp that deftly touches on growing up, love and loss." - Jo Simmons, author of I Swapped My Brother on the Internet

"If laughs on every page, zany zombie escapades and banana bread tickle your reading taste buds, then fasten your seatbelts and head for the future with Bob, an accidental time traveller who is tasked with saving the world! Fizzing with energy, comedy and some important real-life issues." - Lancashire Evening Post

"Funny and serious at the same time ... a great children's book that deals with very serious themes such as grief but also has many moments of entertainment along the way." - Readers First
