Pilkey's talent to combine absurdity with a dash of adventure makes this book a delightful escape for children (and adults) craving a humorous twist on the superhero genre. The duality of school life and video game escapades with a dash of mind-control drama presents the unique flair that has made the Captain Underpants series a staple for giggles and gross-out fun.
