About this book
The Donut Squad is an outlandish assortment of Donuts, led by fun-loving Sprinkles, who plan to take over the world.
Each member of the Squad has their own, quirky personality, such as boisterous Jammyboi, who leaves a trail of fruity mayhem in his wake, and the eccentric Spronky, who scrawls communist propaganda on the walls of Buckingham Palace.
As the Donuts become more popular, a rival gang – the Bagel Battalion – are determined to take them down. Anxiety Donut is dispatched to find out what the Bagels are up to, although he’s perhaps not the best choice of undercover operative, as he quivers with panic when he’s spotted by chief bagel, Platoon Commander Poppyseed. As the two crews go head-to-head, who will win the battle of the baked goods?
This fabulously funny collection of comic sketches is completely bonkers and will have readers roaring with laughter.
Each character makes repeated appearances, with their escapades becoming increasingly absurd. Witty adverts for a range of Donut and Bagel merchandise add to the fun.
The vibrant comic-strip illustrations are full of energy and humour, superbly bringing these hilarious characters to life.
