SUPER PANCAKE

Justice can be sweet—and slightly syrupy.

Peggy Pancake is an average elementary school student in Breakfast Town. She battles her snooze button, deals with her parents’ high expectations, and struggles to make the bus. She even has her own band of baddies to deal with, the Bacon Bullies: Jan, Dan, and Stan. After she misses the bus, Career Day at Winifred Waffle Elementary School is already off to a bad start, but it picks up after a prank—Jan Bacon sneaking the contents of visiting Professor Egglentine Egg’s golden vial into Peggy’s lunch—gives Peggy powers. When Peggy stumbles upon the Bacon Bullies picking on the new kid, Luc Croissant, she steels herself to stand up for him...then finds herself fighting back with superhero-quality moves! Luc declares her a superhero, and as they climb to a treehouse safe haven in the woods, she learns she really is one—she can fly, too! But as cool as it is to have superpowers, Peggy soon learns there is a downside—the evil Dr. Breakfast Sandwich wants more power, and his henchmen will stop at nothing to get it for him, even if it means going after Peggy. The pencil-stroke art has a Dav Pilkey quality that Captain Underpants fans will adore, and the goofy appeal of crime-fighting breakfast foods is just too delicious to pass up.

A tasty treat that’s super fun to read.
