If you put trouble-making teenagers in summer camp without adult supervision, you know what to expect... Comedy, chaos, and someone crapping in the shower.
Troop 99 will have to survive a twisted game of paintball, outrun a rabid buck with tasers mounted to its antlers, and avoid getting in trouble with the camp staff if they want to stand a chance at winning the Golden Plunger.
Fifteen-year-old Do-Over wants to win Camp Winnebago's coveted Golden Plunger to score a free trip to a high-adventure camp with his fellow Adventure Rangers. But when the rival Troop 100 shows up, he knows it's going to be an uphill battle. Do-Over and the rest of Troop 99 are notorious for their terrible behavior, and they start living up to their reputation as soon as they get to camp.
Turbo Cakes falls in love with the camp nurse, Uncle Ruckus tries to get rich quick with chocolate laxatives, and Shovel becomes a walking target for bullies. Their antics snowball into an unstoppable sequence of events that may get them banned from camp forever...
Join Troop 99 on their annual summer trip to Camp Winnebago and experience their epic misadventures as they try to win the Golden Plunger. This fast-paced story is full of hysterical male adolescent humor that will make you laugh out loud, so don't read it in public or people will definitely give you strange looks.
This book is perfect for anyone who's ever known a Boy Scout, gone camping, or still laughs at poop jokes.
If you enjoy books like Swim the Fly, Dan Versus Nature, or Spanking Shakespeare, then you'll love this one. Those books got together, gave a human monkey a typewriter, and The Quest for the Golden Plunger was the result.
If you enjoy shows/movies like American Vandal, Camp Camp, or Superbad, then this book was straight up written for you. What the heck are you waiting for?
Don't forget your swim trunks as you set off on The Quest for the Golden Plunger, the funniest YA novel out there!
