One night Zack follows his bum, and finds that it meets up with other bums to plan to take over the world. The plot was to fill up a 'bumcano' with methane gas, which would then explode and make everyone unconscious so they can replace themselves with their faces. Zack meets up with a bum-hunter Silas Sterne and his daughtor Eleanor, where he faces the reality that bums are a threat. The friends encouter various bum-related places and things in order to fight against the bums evil plan to take over the Earth.
This book would be most suitable for middle-upper primary students. It is an extremely humerous book that uses pleanty of descriptive words and phrases about bums and bum-like things to make the storyline more interesting and disgusting for the person reading. This story could be used in English if looking at comedy as an English genre or looking at different forms of text and how they capture the readers interest.
