Bob and Billy, two not-too-bright characters, are working peacefully in the bomb-testing field in the Death Valley. Everything is going according to plan until their cousin Billy-Bob accidentally pushes a nuclear bomb launch button. After that, all kinds of mayhem erupts. The plus side? Bob and Billy get super-powers that turn them into...you guessed it...super-heroes. And that's just the beginning! What happens next? Read Bob and Billy: Attack of the Meatloaf, the first book in the trilogy, to find out. Then, continue to Problem Cousin and Other Funny Stories, the second book in the trilogy, and watch Bob and Billy attempt to find pickled goats' feet, collude with witches that control bananas, host their slightly problematic cousin, and even chase a burning Christmas tree up and down the mountain (mostly down, as gravity of the situation would have it). In Lost in Lithuania and Other Funny Stories, the third book, Bob and Billy tackle everything from curling tournaments to high-stress bakery jobs to incredibly inventive (in the wrong way!) midnight tours of Igor's castle to the hardship of aglet manufacturing to the satisfaction of homecoming (even if that home happens to be that bomb-testing field in the Death Valley). What are you waiting for? Get on your unicycle and pedal through this funny exploration of the twin mysteries that are Bob and Billy, masterfully presented by Alex Goodwin, the non-Pulitzer Prize winner and non-New York Times-bestselling author, in this epic trilogy. As Bob and Billy would put it, don't be a wild Hungarian moose baby about it and read this non-masterpiece.
