Synopsis

Winner of the 2013 Roald Dahl Funny Prize in the ages seven-to-fourteen category, this second book in a madcap series is packed with Barry's cartoon drawings

You know when someone's horrible to you in a dream and you wake up really annoyed with them? That's what happened to me with my best friend Bunky.

Barry has a new problem: Gordon Smugly—who has the most perfect name for himself ever in the history of having a name, because he looks like a Gordon and is smug and ugly—has stolen Barry's best friend. Join Barry as he attempts to get Bunky back, organizes a girly-screamvoice test, and tries to avoid seeing his teacher kissing his grandma.

About this title

About the Author:

Jim Smith is the author of the Barry Loser series.

From School Library Journal:

Gr 4-6-Smith returns to the peculiar world of Barry Loser. This time, the protagonist faces a new problem: Gordon Smugly who, in Barry's mind, has the "most perfect name for himself in the history of having a name." Gordon has stolen his best friend, Bunky, and it's up to Barry to get him back. Adding to the drama is the boy's constant need to avoid catching his teacher Mr. Hodgepodge kissing Granny Harumpadunk. The story is told from Barry's point of view and is filled with the kind of potty humor certain to entertain and engage the most reluctant of readers, especially fans of "Captain Underpants" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Simple ink illustrations are found on nearly every page and add a certain caricature to each of the players in the story.-Wayne R.
