4-6Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder series.
Illustrated by
Mike Lowery.
Nilly and Lisa discover that their hometown of Oslo, Norway, has been hypnotized by aliens hoping to turn humans into a food source, and it's up to them to stop the pending invasion. Full of delightful absurdities--including sewer snakes, seven-legged spiders, sinister waffle irons, and the occasional fart joke--Nesbø's story is as fresh as the humor is quirky.
