Arnie the Doughnut is back for new zany adventures in book 3 of this popular chapter book series!

Now that Arnie has conquered the bowling alley and the planet Ufonut, he's back for another round of wild adventures. This time the venue is a traveling game show (in the spirit of WIPEOUT!) that comes to town. Arnie, Peezo, and their other friends can't wait to participate in the crazy obstacle course. But Arnie and his crew are in for a challenge once they learn the rules of the game. Will they have to compete against each other?

This winning series is off to a fantastic start. The very funny, very thoughtful storytelling combines with spot-on artwork that speaks directly to the chapter book audience.
