Description

Join Ludo, Noah, Jamie and Phillip – the Bare Bum Gang – as they defend their gang headquarters with Smarties tube fart bombs and other ingenious traps.

And guess what – they’re all completely rubbish at football! How can they save the den? How can they get back their pride? Find out in the first Bare Bum Gang adventure!

About The Author

Anthony McGowan was born in Manchester in 1965. Educated at a Catholic comprehensive, he won't say that his character's schooldays are exactly based on his own but he certainly writes from experience. Before turning to writing full-time, Anthony gained a PhD in Philosophy, worked as a nightclub bouncer, an Open University tutor, a journalist and a civil servant. He is married with two children. In 2006 he won the Booktrust Teenage Prize for his teenage novel Henry Tumour. The Bare Bum Gang is his first series for younger readers.
Review Quote

Besides getting the all-male world of small boys to a T, it has irresistible instructions about how to make fart-bombs
Other text

Likely to appeal even to reluctant readers because it is funny and uninhibitedly improper, it is also well observed about boys and their attitude to girls
