(4) 1-3 Illustrated by George O'Connor. Eugene McGillicudy (a.k.a. Captain Awesome) and sidekick Nacho Cheese Man continue their adventures while preparing for the second grade's holiday play (Wonderland) and during summer swim lessons (Dive). In each volume, Eugene loses--then regains--self-confidence. There are some unresolved, confusing confrontations, but Eugene's an apt hero for these wacky stories. Comic-book-style illustrations combine with cruder drawings attributed to the protagonist. Review covers these titles: Captain Awesome Save the Winter Wonderland and Captain Awesome Takes a Dive.
