Bookroo's summary

In the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle, Stinkbomb and his sister Ketchup-Face embark on a quest to retrieve a missing twenty-dollar bill. Suspecting the mischievous badgers, they report to King Toothbrush Weasel, who sends them on a mission to rid the land of these tricky creatures. Their adventure unfolds through a deep dark forest, a distressed grocery cart, and a jam-filled song. Will they outsmart the badgers and restore order, or will the kerfuffle continue? Prepare for a laugh-out-loud journey where nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

A hilarious send-up of fantasy quest novels, perfect for fans of Adam Gidwitz and Jon Scieszka. Welcome to the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle! Great Kerfuffle is really great. And there’s usually a kerfuffle (the clue’s in the name really). This particular kerfuffle started the day Stinkbomb’s twenty dollar bill went missing. Stinkbomb and his little sister Ketchup-Face know exactly who took it: the badgers. After all, they’re called badgers because they do bad things; otherwise they’d just be gers. They bring news of the badgers’ treachery to King Toothbrush Weasel (don’t get us started on the story behind his name…), who sends them on a quest to rid the land of badgers. What follows is a full on kerfuffle-fest, containing: one deep dark forest, a grocery cart in distress, a song about jam–and, of course, a band of very tricky badgers. Be prepared to laugh your socks off, and maybe your ears, too.
