What’s the book about?
Letitia, Binky and Worried Norman are no ordinary teens. They are the superheroes better known as the Indefatigable EnviroTeens! Unluckily they have been space snorkelled – sucked up by giant tubes, teleported through the galaxy, stripped of their powers and squeezed out on … Mars?! Forced to join the Great Snorkel Manufactory, the three teenagers overhear the evil Baron Kartuffelpoffen’s plan to snorkel up all of Earth’s water. It really sucks! Can their trusty sidekicks, Stuart the wobbegong and Beverly the sourdough starter, come to the rescue?
An intergalactic quest filled with friends, fiends and friands that proves there’s nothing like a tasty snack.

Three reasons to read it:
- Revenge of the Toxic Space Potato introduces you to three totally awesome teens: Letitia, Binky, and Worried Norman. These aren’t just regular teenagers; they’re superheroes with the epic name Indefatigable EnviroTeens! Their mission? To save the planet from climate disaster, of course! But when they get “space snorkelled” (yep, that’s a thing!) and end up on Mars, they have to use their brains and teamwork to fight back against an evil plan to steal all of Earth’s water. If you love superhero action with a funny, eco-friendly twist, these three are your new favorite characters.
- Every great superhero story needs a fantastic villain, and Revenge of the Toxic Space Potato delivers one with the hilarious and dastardly Baron Kartuffelpoffen! This villain is out to steal all of Earth’s water using his evil plan to snorkel it all away. The Baron is a mix of funny and menacing, and his plot is both crazy and clever. Can the Indefatigable EnviroTeens stop him before he gets away with it? You’ll have to read to find out, but one thing’s for sure—this villain is definitely not your typical bad guy!
- One of the best parts of Revenge of the Toxic Space Potato is the laugh-out-loud humor, especially thanks to the quirky illustrations by First Dog on the Moon. The book is packed with full-color illustrations that add to the fun and wackiness of the story. Whether it’s the hilarious antics of the heroes, the bizarre plans of the villain, or the strange creatures they encounter, the pictures bring the story to life in the funniest ways. If you like books with tons of laughs and super cool artwork, you’ll be giggling all the way through.
