Description
Superswines, assemble!
Gary Yorkshire and his friends, Carl the fish and Brooklyn the bat, are facing what might be their piggest mission yet: magical sharks - and summer camp! First there's the sudden appearance of Sharkraham Lincoln (half shark! half president!), who sets off a major test cheating scandal. And then, at the worryingly named Camp Whomp-a-Pig, Gary's hoping to finally get a break from superhero-ing, but a grumpy lake monster isn't letting this sleeping pig lie.
Will Batpig ever catch a break to just relax and enjoy a tasty sandwich, and not have to save the world?
The third book in a brilliantly funny and skilfully rendered commercial young graphic novel series, with two separate stories in each book.

Reviews / Votes
High energy humour at the heart of which is friendship. Fans of Gary et al will devour this eagerly. * Red Reading Hub * This gloriously goofy graphic novel will delight fans of Pilkey's Dogman and the Phoenix comics franchise. It's a seriously silly skit on superheroes but it also teaches children valuable lessons about empathy, fairness and kindness. The accessible chapter format, bold palette of primary colours and zany humour will appeal to visual readers looking for instant laughs. With direct speech and pithy narrative commentary, it's a double delight. * Books for Keeps * Another brilliant and hilarious book in the Batpig series. * The Strawberry Post * Each story is imaginative and very funny. It's bright, bold and colourful and is sure to entice the most reluctant reader. * Read for Good *More details
