Will Captain Awesome successfully take on Little Miss Stinky Pinky to become the winner of the second-grade spelling bee?

Eugene McGillicuddy's superhero alter ego, Captain Awesome, relies on a wide array of superpowers to keep the town of Sunnyview safe from "bad guys." But when Ms. Beasley announces that Eugene will be representing the class in the second grade spelling bee (along with Meredith Mooney--yuck!), Captain Awesome wonders if his spelling superpowers are strong enough to defeat his nemesis, Little Miss Stinky Pinky. Will Captain Awesome prevail and keep the spelling bee trophy safe from evil? M-I-T-E-E!

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Captain Awesome chapter books are perfect for beginning readers!

Horn Book Review

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.
