Description

Twelve-year-old do-gooder Victor Spoil, a disappointment to his supervillain parents, must save the world from an evil scheme to enslave the superheroes and villains. Book #2

Quick Summary

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be born into a family of supervillains but still want to do the right thing, this is the book for you. Victor Spoil is a twelve-year-old who's constantly reminded that his parents expect him to follow the dark family business, but his heart just isn't in it. The story is packed with goofy gadgets, sarcastic sidekicks, and a plot that pits him against a scheme to trap both heroes and villains in a huge, ominous trap, giving it that classic comic-book adventure vibe while keeping the humor spot-on for middle-graders who love jokes, sarcasm, and a touch of danger. Kids who enjoy books like *The Bad Guys* or the *Dog Man* series will probably love this one, especially if they're looking for a quick, funny read that still has a lot of heart. Parents can rest easy knowing the tone is mostly light-hearted, with a few tense moments that are just enough to keep the stakes exciting.
