The Fantastic Fart Candy Fiasco

When twelve-year-old Max Flanagan is invited to the garage lab of his neighbor Dr. Tinker, he expects another wacky invention that’s sure to malfunction. It’s sort of the Doc’s thing. What he finds instead is a new candy with the power to transform foul flatulence into fresh fragrances.

The Doc calls it Fruity Toots. It’s unbelievable. Absurd.

And a complete game-changer, worth a fortune.

But before things can even get off the ground, the Doc’s top-secret recipe vanishes. All signs point to Thaddeus Grimshaw, the flashy candy king who wants to combine Fruity Toots with his own stinky Tushy Tunes to make sweet-smelling music. Determined to expose Grimshaw as the thief, Max enlists his skeptical best friend Ellie Monroe—a sharp-tongued prodigy with a knack for engineering—to sniff out the truth.

Turns out toppling a tycoon isn’t so easy. The clues are a mess, suspects are everywhere, and Max keeps landing in the middle of hilariously outrageous situations. With time running out and the trail growing cold, he’ll need more than a little help from Ellie’s ingenuity to figure out the truth before Fruity Toots disappears … like a fart in a windstorm.
