![]() ![]() This book is a creative superhero/villain novel featuring an abundance of characters, superpowers, plots, subplots, and action sequences. Her pacing, intonations, and expressions (one can actually "hear" her smile) are appropriate for the dozens of characters. Emily Woo Zeller voices Penny's maniacal, mad-scientist laughter Claire's soft, cooing giggles and Ray's deeper voice, while also capturing the essence of the "Inscrutable Machine" and a host of other monsters, shape-shifters, and ghosts. Penny never meant to be a bad guy, but she turns out to be a most excellent mad scientist. Despite her parents' prediction that it could be years before her powers develop, Penny and her friends Claire and Ray soon find themselves superpowered-and supervillainous. Gr 5–8-Ever since she could remember, Penny Akk has fantasized about following in the footsteps of her superhero parents (The Audit and Brainy Akk). ![]()
