Meet Victor Shmud and enter for a chance to win a piece of original art from Jim Benton

Jim Benton, the author of the Dear Dumb Diary series is back with a hilarious new series, and we are so excited to debut the book trailer!

Meet Victor Shmud, total expert in everything. Victor Shmud has been many things: Knuckle Doctor, a Hunter of Ghost Bears, a Tattoo Artist, the Guy at the Restaurant Who Puts the Sugar in Those Little Envelopes, a Computer Scientist, an Octopus Wrestler, and a Wedding Planner. In fact, he's been nearly everything (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?

Watch the book trailer for Victor Shmud: Total Expert by Jim Benton here:

Victor is an expert in EVERYTHING. One day he decides he's an octopus wrestler, the next he's a computer scientist, and the day after that, he's an expert bird veterinarian!
