(4) 1-3 Illustrated by George O'Connor. Eugene's superhero alter ego, Captain Awesome, helps him start second grade at a new school, deal with bullies, handle his sister (a.k.a. Queen Stinkypants), make friends, and solve mysteries. Comic-book-style illustrations are punctuated by Eugene's own less-sophisticated doodles. Eugene's imaginative inner dialogue and his impulsive actions don't quite jibe, but chapter book readers will likely enjoy the hijinks. Review covers these Captain Awesome titles: Captain Awesome to the Rescue!, Captain Awesome and the New Kid, and Captain Awesome vs. Nacho Cheese Man.
