Super Mario Bros meets Captain Underpants in this action-packed comedy sure to make a splash!

James Patterson presents: The Titans of the Toilet! The Wonders from Down Under! Nitro City’s very own sewer superheroes: The Plumbers!

Thirteen-year-old Sully Stringfellow has always admired the great plumber heroes of Nitro City. These wrench-wielding warriors guarded the sewers — until they were discredited by the powerful Ironwater Corporation, which has a sinister scheme to take over the city.

Without the plumbers, Nitro is being overrun by mutant creatures — and things are about to go totally nuclear thanks to the potentially explosive 50th Anniversary Burrito Festival! It’s up to Sully and a league of long-forgotten plumber heroes to save the day, making it safe for all to flush again. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it!

  • "Pacey, punchy and with more jokes than you can shake a plunger at, The Unflushables is unputdownable!"
    Mo O'Hara, New York Times bestselling author of the My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series
  • "Hand this to avid fans of Captain Underpants who are looking for something longer but with ample potty humor and slapstick comedy."
    School Library Journal
  • "50% detective mystery. 50% superhero saga. This book is 100% hilarious. Take the plunge with The Unflushables... Plumbing has never been this much fun!"
    John Kloepfer, author of the Monsters Unleashed and Zombie Chasers series
  • "Half superhero adventure, half noir mystery... In typical pulp crime fashion, corruption and intrigue lead to some entertaining twists in an amusing story of potty play."
