(4) 1-3 Illustrated by George O'Connor. Eugene McGillicudy works hard to tie for first place on the spelling test. His success leads to a confrontation with arch-enemy Meredith during a spelling bee, and Eugene must summon his alter ego, Captain Awesome. The story is slight, but a mystery superhero introduced at the end will pique readers' interest. Cartoon black-and-white illustrations appear with cruder drawings attributed to Eugene.
