Super Fly: Revenge of the Roach!

Gr 2–4—In this second installment of the comical and fast-paced series, Eugene Flystein returns in his nerd-turned-superhero role. Thanks to the Ultimo 6–9000 pie he consumed, he is 9,000 times stronger, faster, and better than the average bug. Being a superhero helps him keep evil at bay in Stinkopolis. Just when he thought he had seen the last of the villainous Cornelius Cockroach, he is back at Brown Barge Elementary. At first, Cornelius seems oddly benign, but then his nefarious scheming becomes apparent. Super Fly and his sidekick, Fantastic Flea, team up to stop the evil Cornelius and his henchmen, Dee and Doo Dung, from taking over the world with a hypnotic video game, Butterfly Bombers. Eugene's little sister Elle gets in on the silly antics after she also takes a bite of the Ultimo and becomes Fly Girl. Readers whose funny bones are tickled by all things icky and disgusting are bound to fall in love with Super Fly. Black-and-white illustrations throughout help bring the story and characters to life.
