Captain Awesome and the New Kid Read online

It’s time for action!

  “CHAAAAARGE!” he shouted and raced into the cafeteria!

  BOUNCE!

  Oops!

  Eugene tripped over the doorway and flopped to the floor.

  ROLL!

  Turbo’s plastic ball flew from Eugene’s hands and rolled across the cafeteria floor . . . stopping at Dr. Spinach’s feet.

  “EEEPS!” Charlie gasped in horror as Dr. Spinach turned to pick Turbo up.

  “What have we here?” the evil chef of leafy green yuckiness growled.

  Eugene and Charlie yanked their costumes from their backpacks.

  When STAN KIRBY was six years old, he tied a beach towel around his neck and became Super Commander Beach Boy. He tried his best to protect sand castles from the waves, keep seagulls away from his french fries, and keep the beach clean. When Stan’s not creating the awesome adventures of Captain Awesome, he loves reading comic books, eating okra, and hang gliding (but not at the same time).

  GEORGE O’CONNOR’S cover—as a mild-mannered clerk in one of Gotham’s most beloved children’s bookstores—was completely blown when his first picture book, KAPOW!, exploded onto the scene. Forced to leave the bookselling world behind, he now spends even more time in his secret Brooklyn, New York, hideout—where he uses his amazing artistic powers to strike fear in the hearts of bad guys everywhere!

  “Easily accessible and enormously appealing, particularly to readers who have recently graduated to chapter books . . . this kid is ‘MI-TEE!’”
