{"product_id":"9781631736056","title":"Buub to the Rescue","description":"This rapid-fire comic entertainment mixes slapstick and satire in a gag-jammed throwback to the madcap spirit of the Marx Brothers. What passes for a plot is set in a former Italian colony in Africa, the desert Republic of Lunitunia, where there’s absolutely no such thing as the Mafia.   They do, however, have a little problem with the Maaf’i-aaarrggh...   Nubile American lass Penny Vaguely, freshly graduated from Blessèd Rejection College, searches Lunitunia for a missing holy relic. The desert cacti thwanng with menace Sergio Leone-style. Maaf’i-aaarrggh henchmen are hot on her trail.   She meets romantic chauffeur Luigi Buub (pronounced with two syllables boo-oob) and they get entangled with rival kidnapping gangs and a basketball mascot on the run for war crimes and − well, it ain’t Madame Bovary!   With a dash of S.J. Perelman, a dollop of Spike Milligan and a tasteless flavour entirely its own, Buub to the Rescue is just the ticket if you’re in the mood for laughs.   Is it ridiculous? You betcha! Offensive too!   There’s a giggle on every page.","brand":"Makepeace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168230490352,"sku":"9781631736056","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631736056_p0.jpg?v=1763673088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631736056","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
