About The Quest For The Golden Plunger: The Misadventures
Product Description If you put trouble-making teenagers in summer camp without adult supervision, you know what to expect... Comedy, chaos, and someone crapping in the shower. Troop 99 will have to survive a twisted game of paintball, outrun a rabid buck with tasers mounted to its antlers, and avoid getting in trouble with the camp staff if they want to stand a chance at winning the Golden Plunger. This luxury hardcover edition offers premium cover design and materials, illustrated Adventure Rangers badges at the beginning of each chapter, a personal note from the author, and an Adventure Rangers illustration at the end of the book! Fifteen-year-old Do-Over wants to win Camp Winnebago's coveted Golden Plunger to score a free trip to a high-adventure camp with his fellow Adventure Rangers. But when the rival Troop 100 shows up, he knows it's going to be an uphill battle. Do-Over and the rest of Troop 99 are notorious for their terrible behavior, and they start living up to their reputation as soon as they get to camp. Turbo Cakes falls in love with the camp nurse, Uncle Ruckus tries to get rich quick with chocolate laxatives, and Shovel becomes a walking target for bullies. Their antics snowball into an unstoppable sequence of events that may get them banned from camp forever... Join Troop 99 on their annual summer trip to Camp Winnebago and experience their epic misadventures as they try to win the Golden Plunger. This fast-paced story is full of hysterical male adolescent humor that will make you laugh out loud, so don't read it in public or people will definitely give you strange looks. This book is perfect for anyone who's ever known a Boy Scout, gone camping, or still laughs at poop jokes. If you enjoy books like Swim the Fly, Dan Versus Nature, or Spanking Shakespeare, then you'll love this one. If you enjoy shows/movies like American Vandal, Camp Camp, or Superbad, then this book was straight up written for you. What the heck are you waiting for? Don't forget your swim trunks as you set off on The Quest for the Golden Plunger, the funniest YA novel out there! Review "In his debut novel, Dickert nails that particular summer-camp combination of earnestness and anarchy... A laugh-out-loud comic novel that's also psychologically astute about the inner lives of teenage boys." -Kirkus Reviews " The Quest for the Golden Plunger is a rare breed of book - a YA comedy that's heartwarming, hilarious, and deep with meaning at every turn. A fast, fun, and fearless tale, reading this book made me wish I hadn't dropped out of Cub Scouts, or, rather, that I attended camp with this bunch of rambunctious adventurers as my guides. Jackson Dickert is a master storyteller." -Grant Faulkner, Executive Director of National Novel Writing Month and author of Pep Talks for Writers "Take the attitude from The Sandlot, throw in the charm of Moonrise Kingdom, and polish it off with a balance of absurdity that would make anyone's inner delinquent give a devilish grin, and what you have is The Quest for the Golden Plunger. A delightful tale of youth, exploration, and comradery, Jackson Dickert has written a story that will make even the meanest old coot think fondly back to their days away at camp." -Daniel Greene, Author, Creator, and Disheveled Goblin "[Dickert] captured a really heartfelt, funny, and distinct journey in a bottle; explored tricky issues teens face growing up, but in a light hearted way... Each character had a living, breathing soul in the story and that's not something you see every day." -Todd Haberkorn, Voice Actor, Director, and Producer "As funny as The Quest for the Golden Plunger is, there are also moments where it becomes surprisingly moving... [It] is an excellent book, even if the male adolescent humor will not appeal to everyone. Jackson Dickert has a knack for writing in such a way that it is easy to get drawn into the story and caught up in the antics no matter how ridiculous things get." -ManyBooks
