When Dan Weekes meets his mother's latest boyfriend, rugged outdoorsman Hank, he's less than impressed...and even more so when Dan's mother signs him and Hank up for a survival trip into the wilderness. But with the help of an arsenal of disgusting pranks, Dan comes up with a cunning plan intended to reveal Hank's true colours...

Don's filled this story with heaps of gross-out moments that you'll enjoy reading about in Dan's adventure, including vomit, diarrhea, and a malfunctioning baby doll named Robbie to name a few.

This is also a great novel if you like wilderness adventures too, featuring encounters with deadly animals such as wasps, rattlesnakes and a dangerous black bear.

There's also a touch of romance in this novel too, as Dan finds himself at the centre of a love triangle between his crush from school and a new girl on the expedition with them.

If you were a fan of authors such as Dav Pilkey (Captain Underpants) when you were younger, you'll enjoy this story, based on true events from the author's life.

Overall, this is a gross-out and profanity-filled novel, but with a heart under it all, and a great choice for fans of this genre.
