Description
Saving the world was never supposed to be this embarrassing...
Frederick "Freddie" Funderbatch is twelve years old, lives in Inishowen, and has the highest recorded IQ in human history. He's also the founder of F.A.R.T. The Federation Against Real Threats, a top-secret organisation dedicated to protecting Earth from the weirdest dangers imaginable.
Unfortunately, most people think he's just a nerd.
Even more unfortunately, he is just a nerd.
When a mysterious alien orb crashes outside Muff, Freddie and his two best friends, Henrietta "Hank" Mendoza (tactical genius, sarcasm enthusiast) and Malcolm "Mal" (logistics wizard, professional worrier), uncover a plot that will decide the fate of the planet.
The alien Splarnaxx have arrived... and they're not here for tea and biscuits. Earth has been "invited" to compete in the Galactic Gauntlet, a series of bizarre, dangerous challenges where losing means total annihilation.
Suddenly, F.A.R.T. is no longer a secret. Freddie is famous. Cool kids want to sit with him at lunch. Even Savannah Preen, social queen, PR mastermind, and possible future dictator, wants to "collaborate."
But as Freddie discovers, being popular isn't all it's cracked up to be... especially when the clock is ticking, the challenges make no sense, and your only military backup is General Wrathbone, a man who thinks victory cabbages are a valid strategy.
Packed with laughs, gadgets, aliens, and a surprising amount of goats, Frederick Funderbatch and The Galactic Gauntlet is the first in a wildly funny, fast-paced adventure series perfect for fans of Tom Gates, Artemis Fowl, and Max Einstein.
Can Freddie keep his friends, save the planet, and survive the Galactic Gauntlet... or will Earth's final score be "Game Over"?
