Victor Spoil hates the Junior Super Academy. It makes him cranky -- and his parents couldn't be prouder, because supervillains aren't meant to be nice. Until Victor confesses he wants to leave and become a librarian. The horror! <p/> But when superheroes and villains -- including his parents -- start disappearing, only a dedicated do-gooder like Victor can track them down. He discovers that the supers are being captured to square off against aliens in gladiator-like shows. And unlike the scripted fights that the supers usually sign up for, these battles are to the death! <p/> Victor and his fellow super students must join together and harness their super powers to battle this dastardly mega-villain. But to be a hero, Victor finally has to embrace his inner villain. Will he be able to stoop that low? <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>How to Be a Supervillain</i>: </b><b><br></b><b>An <i>IndieBound</i> National Bestseller!</b> </br></br><b>Praise for <i>How to Be a Supervillain: Born to Be Good</i>: </b><b><br></b><b>A Parents' Choice Awards (R) winner!</b> </br></br>Being bad at being bad has never been such good fun!--<i><b>Chris Grabenstein, NYT Bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library</b></i> </br></br>Fry has written a hilarious story about an unlikely hero and masterfully incorporates the illustrations into the narrative.
