(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Jessell. Unrelentingly tongue-in-cheek humor marks this contrived escapade, in which the Ice King traps Santa in his lair and Robert and Carolyn's parents (superhero identities: the Protector and Protectress) must save Christmas--with the kids' help. As a reward, the two receive their own superpowers and swoop off to fight evil as "the Young Protectors." Super-realistic illustrations (rendered with an overabundance of purple) reinforce the arch tone.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
