George and Harold's time-travelling Purple Potty has landed them in a crazy place! The teachers are nice, the cafeteria serves delicious food, and the school principal, Mr. Krupp, thinks they're hilarious. Something is very, very wrong—and it gets even more wrong when the boys' pet pterodactyl, Crackers, and Sulu the Bionic Hamster are captured by George and Harold's evil-twin look-alikes.

Now, George and Harold must face their greatest foes yet: themselves! Can they handle this mess on their own, or will they need Captain Underpants to swoop in and save the day?

About the Author

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
