Melvin Beederman is a brand-new superhero, fresh out of
training. His first assignment takes him
to the city of Los Angeles, which hasn’t had a superhero since Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar retired. In a dry-cleaning
mishap and epic wardrobe malfunction, Melvin’s powerful cape accidentally finds
its way to a third-grade girl named Candace Brinkwater. Even though Candace and Melvin end up sharing
some of the same superpowers, they both still have one weakness… bologna. Will the evil McNasty Boys be able to exploit
this weakness and continue their crime spree?
You’ll just have to read the books to find out!
There are eight books in the Melvin Beederman series, and I’d
bet that all of them are as funny as the first.
If you’re looking for a smart new superhero, then Melvin’s your man. The hilarious illustrations by Rhode Montijo
are the icing on the cake, and I’d recommend these books to any boy who’s ever
been tempted to wear his underpants on the outside!
