How would you like to have to save the human population? Try being Zack, which means saving the human population from butts, without a butt! Zack is an ordinary boy who wakes up in the middle of the night to find his butt very dangerous and on the loose. Zack finds out the butts are planning to have butts rule the world and get themselves to their rightful position, on top of the head. Luckily, Zack runs into the B-team, the greatest butt-fighting squad. Along with them is Eleanor, the all-time greatest butt-fighter’s daughter. Can they find Eleanor’s father and overcome the butt population, or will we see the world through our butts forever?

I really liked this book because it is funny and action-packed. I would definitely recommend this book. I think anyone who loves silly stuff and is under the age of 18 will like this. After you read this book, go looking for the sequel (I haven’t read it yet, but the description sounds really cool). I hope you like this book as much as I did. (May, 2003)
