To truly make it in this world, sometimes you have to take on EVERYTHING!

To get to the most totally awesome city of Bokonon, a select few prospects must face the ultimate challenge—surviving an epic showdown with the mysterious Qualifiers. So here's Bombos, the most totally awesome paperboy ever to grace the provincial backwater. More than anything, he wants to get to the city and he knows how to do it—with attitude and a big ol' bat. But one thing's for sure: It ain't gonna be easy.

Standing between Bombos and a ticket out of his little out-of-the-way town? An editor-in-chief whose bizarre challenges could either help him or get him killed; a hyper-competitive loser named Veng; and a giant potato-like creature with indiscriminate eating habits...Oh, and don't forget the Qualifiers! And of course, there's a bit of bat-fighting thrown in, just to keep the kids happy.
