Fans of Glorkian Warrior and Dav Pilkey books (both Dog Man and Captain Underpants) will gravitate toward this funny, ridiculous (in a good way) graphic novel about a handsome, competent superhero, Super Max, who is turned into a potato by his nemesis, Doctor Malevolent. Sadly for Max, now Super Potato, he does not retain his super stylish hair; luckily for Max, he has retained his super powers. Hijinks ensue as Super Potato attempts to get Doctor Malevolent to create a new potato-reversing machine. Sadly for Super Potato, the machine does not work. Luckily, for us there is another book with further adventures of the spud-who-can. Large, clear illustrations and readable text with some good, challenging vocabulary complement the newest, most delicious superhero.
