Fourth-graders George and Harold love pranks, but their latest joke pushes their teacher too far. Enter Professor Pippy P. Poopypants, the new science teacher with a name too tempting to mock.

Can George and Harold fix the mess they've made, or will they be stuck in a world of absurdity forever? Discover the uproarious consequences of a prank gone too far.
