4-6Joshua Dread series.
After vanquishing the evil Phineas Vex (or did he?) in his eponymous first book, Joshua Dread is looking forward to a relaxing summer. His hopes are dashed, however, when he and his friends are recruited to become a super-famous superhero team. The climax merely sets up a sequel, but this book retains the wit and creativity of its predecessor.
