I'm all for having juvenile powers though.

We have enough "proper" books around that a little improper, if well-written, would definitely be a welcome change. What age group are you targeting? Totally go with the silly!

I think it depends on how it's written - I would be happy for my kids to read either, but Smartypants avoids putting off people who may not be so laid back and possibly conveys more of a "superhero" feeling. I think that farting and screaming would be great in the book and done well, would be really funny. There was a UK film from a couple of years ago with "Thunderpants" in the title which I think kids loved but got a rather frosty reception from critics. These are just my thoughts, I hope they may be helpful. Good luck and I will look forward to reading the draft. I have a short story (for grown-ups) with lots of "rude" words in, great fun to write!
