Escape from the Dungeons of Snerbville is the third installment in the quirky, creepy, hilarious Bonkers series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman.

Barker Mifflin is back!

Sort of. He fell into a hole—or more accurately, he rode a forty-foot chicken down into the depths of Snerbville.

Will he be lost there forever, or will he finally solve the mystery behind Colossal Chemistry?

With the help of his new pal, Tilda Huxley—who happens to be the size of a Barbie Doll, thanks to scientific experiments gone wrong—he might just have a shot at finding out the real reason everyone in his hometown is so tight-lipped about its secrets. But first he has to avoid getting shrunk himself, or worse, getting discovered by certain fuzzy creatures with a ferocious appetite for garbage ... or the next best thing.

      A boy who is prepared for anything, a doll-size girl, and a scientist save the world from an experiment gone wrong. After a thorough-enough recap for brand-new series readers, the 40-foot chicken that Barker McMifflin rode into a giant hole in the ground leads him to another encounter with the disgustingly troublesome creatures from Jenny's armpit known as Snerbs. Still determined to get to the bottom of the strangeness clearly connected to the scientific research facility in their town, Barker takes off into Snerbville, an underground network of tunnels full of secrets and hungry Snerbs. Lucky for him, nine-inch-tall Tilda Huxley, daughter of the founder of Colossal Chemistry, is right behind him, her quest to un-shrink herself having turned into a rescue mission. Unfortunately for them all, blundering scientist Maverick McFadden's ineptitude has allowed the Snerbs to run rampant, and the kids, along with Dr. Vernsy von Vexler, must save the earth from being consumed entirely. Some readers may find the shifting perspectives among series hero Barker, Tilda, and Dr. Vexler challenging, though chapter titles add context to assist in determining narrator shifts. There is no shortage of witty repartee or inventive descriptions; it's perhaps the silliest and most entertaining series entry yet. Illustrations show Barker with brown skin, while Tilda describes herself as a "mix of [B]lack, brown, and white," and Dr. Vexler presents as white. Ridiculous and hilarious.(Paranormal. 8-12)
