Postman Planet is back and smellier than ever in this hilarious young fiction series for kids, by award-winning author and everyday postman, Ben Davis!

The planet of Nicetopia is the politest corner of the galaxy. Nothing could ever spoil their ideal society... until evil super-genius Dr Stankenstein dumps huge quantities of his Stink Potion into their water supply. Everyone on the planet is farting uncontrollably, ruining their polite paradise. There are only twelve space-hours left before the atmosphere becomes irrevocably farty, and the planet of Nicetopia becomes RudeTopia. The only hope? The antidote. And there is only one person in the galaxy intrepid enough to deliver it. You’ve guessed it... Postman Planet!

  • Laugh-out-loud funny, short chapters and full of illustrations
  • Great for readers aged 6+ and reluctant readers
  • With themes of friendship, sharing and teamwork
