Eugene McGillicudy is new in town and can't wait to unveil his superhero alter ego. Captain Awesome teams up with his best friend Charlie Thomas Jones (Nacho Cheese Man) and Turbo the hamster to protect the town of Sunnyview, as well as the universe, from a comical crowd of "bad guys" in this entertaining chapter book series.
O’Connor (Kapow!) opens each chapter with crayoned cartoons “drawn” by Eugene that, along with more polished spot art—complete with sound effects like “Bonk!” “Pow!” and “MI-TEE!” (Captain Awesome’s superhero rally call)—bring Eugene’s imagined feats of daring to life, as he investigates the disappearance of class pet Turbo the hamster. Action, comedy, and hyperbole should easily hook readers, especially those who share Eugene’s love of comics. – Publishers Weekly
