1-3Captain Awesome series.
Illustrated by
George O'Connor.
In Evil, the Sunnyview Superhero Squad tries to free Eugene from a super-strict babysitter, and their intervention leads to a food fight. Hole-in-One finds the friends reluctantly attending nemesis Meredith's mini-golf birthday party. Despite Meredith's cheating, the kids unite to best a supervillain, and the mutual animosity lessens. Simplistic plots and excessive exclamations probably won't bother new readers. Cartoons include drawings "by" Eugene. Review covers these Captain Awesome titles: Captain Awesome Gets a Hole-in-One and Captain Awesome vs. the Evil Babysitter.
