Dungzilla by James Foley introduces us once again to Sally Tinker, the ingenious mind behind Brobot and acclaimed as the world's leading inventor under twelve years old. Sally's latest creation is a machine designed to enlarge any object. However, a mishap occurs when she attempts to resize a slice of pizza and accidentally enlarges a dung beetle to monstrous proportions.

Chaos ensues as the now-gigantic beetle starts rolling a dung ball massive enough to threaten an entire town. As urgency mounts, Sally scrambles to repair her invention. In a curious twist of events, her baby brother Joe becomes enormous as well, stepping in heroically to save the day.

Yet victory comes with a quirky challenge: Joe, unable to return to his normal size straight away, is in dire need of a nappy change.
