1-3Melvin Beederman Superhero series.
Illustrated by
Rhode Montijo.
Pint-sized flying-impaired and X-ray-vision-burdened hero Melvin Beederman continues to protect LA from supervillains of all kinds--even valley girls. These bad-gals want to take over the city by kidnapping the mayor's dog, but the mayor is no innocent victim himself. Like the others in the series, this book embraces genre clichés for zany, formulaic fun.
