4-6Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder series.
Illustrated by
Mike Lowery.
The fourth book in the Norwegian series takes Nilly and Lisa to London to save Norway's entire gold reserve, stolen by a Russian billionaire. Doctor Proctor, scientist and inventor of odorless "fartonaut powder" and other strangely implausible potions, helps the kids pull off a fantastically successful financial rescue. Silly humor coupled with outlandish thrills will appeal to lovers of cartoonish absurdity.
