His best friend, Franki, starts acting weird-since when does she like to dance?--and everyone from his mom to his soccer coach is on his case all the time. Worst of all? The school bully, Boomer Bodbreath, seems to think Charlie has a bull's-eye on his back. <p/>When Charlie's eccentric science teacher hands out writing journals instead of beakers and goggles, Charlie is convinced his year can't be saved. That is, until he starts writing stories about Dude Explodius, an awesome superhero--and those stories start coming true. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Superheroes Don't Eat Veggie Burgers</i>: <br></b><br>In this empowering coming-of-age story, Charlie Burger's only goal as sixth grade begins is to get through the year without any trouble. . . .
