How To Be A Supervillain - Michael Fry

In this rollicking middle-grade adventure and national bestseller, Michael Fry''s witty text and hysterical artwork combines superhero action with classic fish-out-of-water humor. Victor Spoil comes from a long line of famous supervillains and he''s fully expected to join their ranks one day. But to his family''s utter disappointment, Victor doesn''t have a single bad-guy bone in his body. He won''t run with scissors, he always finishes his peas, and he can''t stand to be messy. Hopeless! As a last-ditch effort before they give up and let him be a -- gasp! -- civilian, Victor''s exasperated parents send him to apprentice under a disgraced supervillain called The Smear. This matchup starts off as a complete disaster, but Victor and The Smear eventually find that they have a lot to learn from each other. When the stakes get high as Victor is forced to choose between his mentor and his family morals (or lack thereof) . . . what will the world''s nicest bad guy do?
