At Sci-Fi Junior High, everyone knows Kelvin Klosmo's scientist parents are geniuses, but Kelvin's own geniusness hasn't exactly ... kicked in yet. Can he keep his secret hidden, even when an evil scientist takes the form of a stuffed bunny and tries to conquer the universe? A hilarious illustrated story that's out of this world!
A top supervillain offers rules and advice to readers on how to develop an evil plan to rule the world.
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?
It's time for Sci-Fi Junior High's annual dance: The Galactic Get Down! Kelvin is desperate to take luminous Luna (her species literally glows), so he has to think of a way to become super cool... Cue mad scientist Erik Failenheimer's escape from his asteroid prison and a battle to save Sci-Fi Junior High from imminent doom.
Man may have invented the wheel, but it was a Guy who first looked at an ordinary pogo stick and realized it would be greatly improved by the addition of a combustible-gas-powered engine; a Guy who invented a high-five simulator so he’d never be left hanging again; a Guy who dared to dream of airbag boxer shorts to protect that which he holds most dear. It’s not difficult to imagine these bold inventors reclining in front of their TVs (or Victrolas), one hand resting halfway down their boxers, the other holding a beer, when inspiration struck! Unfortunately, what they envisioned as the next lightbulb was, in actuality, the first toilet lounger. Now you, too, can experience that same thrill of discovery withIt’s a Guy Thing, a collection of actual patented inventions taken directly from the collective mind of the American Guy —by way of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Compiled for the amusement of every Guy (and every woman who knows one), these often ridiculous, frequently misguided, yet rarely well-thought-out creations may even inspire you to do a little inventing of your own—but you can forget about the Human Catapult. A Guy named Ted already holds the patent.
