Overview:
Step into a world where science meets mischief with this four-book Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder collection, from the beloved Jo Nesbo. In Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder, the young inventor unveils a super-strength powder with the magical potential to launch people into outer space. Joined by his lively neighbour Nilly and Nilly's friend Lisa, Doctor Proctor stirs up worldwide excitement—until the mischievous twins Truls and Trym hatch a plan to seize the powder for themselves. The result is a riotous, action-packed adventure complete with fireworks, a comic courtroom twist, and an escapade that ends in an unexpected chase. The Time-Travel Bath Bomb invites readers to slip into a tub and imagine visiting pivotal moments in history, from the Battle of Waterloo to the French Revolution, all with the same breezy, playful spirit. The End of the World. Maybe whisks readers to the edge of a TV ratings frenzy, as strange events on a popular show push the trio to uncover a bigger mystery.

What Makes This Collection Special:
What ties these four adventures together is a sustained energy from a trio of friends—Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa—working together to outsmart bigger-than-life schemes. Each title fans the same flame: clever science-meets-fantasy ideas, high-spirited humor, and fast-forward plot momentum that makes reading feel like a joyride. Readers encounter a progression of settings—from a home laboratory to time-travel tubs to televised mysteries—while maintaining a cohesive, buoyant tone that invites quick, immersive reads. The four-book collection is not only a complete arc of misadventure but a compact reading journey that shelves neatly on a child’s bookcase, a family nightstand, or a BookTok-fueled shelf of beloved series. It’s an ideal gift for families seeking lively, age-appropriate adventures that spark curiosity and laughter in equal measure.
Books Included in This Collection:
Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder
Doctor Proctor has finally created something to help him fulfil his dream of becoming a famous inventor—a super-strength fart powder with the potential to propel people into outer space. With the help of his spirited neighbour Nilly and Nilly's friend Lisa, the powder is ready for a worldwide debut. But ruthless twins Truls and Trym want the formula for themselves, triggering a wild, fart-filled caper that whirls from a fireworks finale to a trip behind bars and an unexpected escaped anaconda. This opening adventure blends zany invention with daring escapades, setting the tone for a series that thrives on mischief, friendship, and clever problem-solving.
Time-Travel Bath Bomb

A splashy, giggle-filled middle-grade read that pairs science with fantastic what-ifs.
The End of the World. Maybe
Everyone is hooked on a popular singing competition on TV, The NoroVision Choral Throwdown, except Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa, who’d rather be out having fun. When contestants’ behavior starts to feel off, the trio uncovers that there’s more to the show than meets the eye. The mystery blends friendship, music, and misdirection into a brisk, entertaining chase that defies expectations and keeps readers guessing until the final page. Bright, witty, and propulsive, this story celebrates teamwork and curiosity under pressure.
The Great Gold Robbery
When a Russian billionaire shakes Norway’s gold reserves and melts the last bar into a trophy, it’s up to Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa to retrieve the trophy and restore the balance. With a perilous break-in and a ticking clock, the trio navigates clever trades, daring improvisation, and a fast-paced race to outwit a mastermind.
