Illustrated by
Douglas Holgate.
Super Chicken Nugget Boy and his salamander return for a second adventure in which they must save the world from maniacal food scientist Dr. Ned-Grant. Fed up with being mocked because of his name ("Ned-Grant, eggplant"), the doctor creates a vast aubergine army. This absurd adventure is favorably accompanied by comic-style illustrations, some containing dialogue boxes or songs.
