Bob has already experienced time-travel in the first episode of this funny, clever series, and in this new book he’s almost immediately catapulted forward in time – to 2049 in fact - when a school science class goes horribly wrong.
Once again, he meets his future self, now married, bald and being seriously bossed around by a future Alexa equivalent who – which? – has much more say over things than it should. It turns out life in the future is not all roses (even though farts now smell of them or indeed anything else pleasant of your choosing) and humanity’s last hope could be Bob…
With an abundance of fart jokes, there’s much knockabout humour here but a lot more besides not least some thinking about AI and the importance of self-determination. Funny, clever and fart-filled – what’s not to love?

The unmissable follow-up to Bob vs the Selfie Zombies, perfect for fans of David Solomons, David Baddiel and Greg James & Chris Smith.
AI is threatening to take over the world, and our last hope is a 12-year-old boy called Bob. Bob, an accidental time-traveller, should be doing his homework but instead he's bouncing in and out of the year 2049 - and life in the future seriously stinks! When Bob's science class experiment goes wrong, he causes a global aroma-virus pandemic - also known as the farting flu.
The grumpy school inspector has his eye on Bob and detention looms. But Bob's got bigger problems. He must face robot gorillas, an evil computer and giant patrol insects to save the world from a very farty future...?
Hold your noses for an adventure to the year 2049 and back!

About Andy Jones
Andy Jones began his career as an author writing novels for adults. Grown-up stuff about falling in love, falling out of love, falling in love again and having babies. All of which he has experienced in his own life.
More recently, he has been writing books for children. Crazy stuff about genies, monsters, time travel and zombies. None of which he has experienced in his own life.
Andy's books are funny, dramatic and unpredictable. They might even make you think. Andy lives on the outskirts of London (the best part in his opinion) with his wife, daughters and an assortment of other creatures.
