About this book

A new series from the bestselling author of Dear Dumb Diary

Victor Shmud has been many things: Knuckle Doctor, a Hunter of Ghost Bears, a Tattoo Artist, The Guy At The Restaurant That Puts The Sugar In Those Little Envelopes, a Computer Scientist, an Octopus Wrestler, and a Wedding Planner. In fact, he's been nearly everything, but is definitely not A Guy Who Cleans Up Bedrooms yet. But his newest gig is beautifuller yes, that's a word. He's also a Licensed Wordmaker. He can make anyone gorgeous, with a gob of his beauty treatment complete with Mustard Molecules.

But before he can work his beautifuller magic, he's vaporized along with his associate, the very fluffy Dumpylumps by a video game. Will Victor ever get back to Earth? Also, is it someone's birthday... and will there be cupcakes?
