Anyway Mr X has transformed The Wise Old Vending Machine into Gozo the Vending Machine Monster who is wreaking havoc on Shnozville and the only way to stop him is to find the missing thingy (Thingys being the name of a cereal no longer produced - "The painful way to eat cereal" was their tagline). We were send a copy of this book by the publisher Jelly Pie / Egmont in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my review or my opinions in any way. Thank you for sending us this book to read and review.Jim has now written six Barry Loser books, and numerous short stories. ‘Future Ratboy’, a spin-off series of books based on Barry’s favourite TV star, debuts in July 2015. Future Ratboy and the Quest for the Missing Thingy" is the third book in the Future Ratboy series although no prior knowledge of the others is necessary for this one. That's because the book opens with a "Previously on Future Ratboy..." section where all the characters are introduced and the premise explained.

Bird has been brought to life as Not Bird and Brian's DNA is fused with a rat giving him superkeel powers. Future Ratboy is born! The funny part that made me laugh was when Future Ratboy screamed ‘RAT!’ and pointed at himself!!! The whole book made me laugh. Colin Lamppost was "zapped from [his] home town of Shnozville millions of years into the future and [he] was transformed into a half boy, half rat, half TV". That is Future Ratboy. In this new adventure, can Future Ratboy and Not Bird save Shnozville from the bitey little insects that are turning everyone into zombies? Will they defeat the evil Mr X? And how will they ever find their way home? In this new adventure, Future Ratboy sees a surprising new side to his enemy, evil Mr X, goes on a journey to the Planet Bin and faces a race against time to find the missing thingy.From the Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning author of Barry Loser comes a hilarious new series, perfect for fans of Dennis the Menace, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates, and Mr Gum.
