In this overtly silly book, the Glorkian Warrior and his sidekick, Super Backpack, team up to deliver a pizza and meet their heroic destiny. At over one-hundred pages, the slim story line is too protracted, though the candy-colored comics are energetic and the slapstick humor (e.g., a plot point involves the main character punching himself in the face) will resonate with young readers.
