The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich

Is Los Angeles ready for its newest superhero that just graduated from Superhero Academy? Melvin Beederman receives his first assignment, which takes him to Los Angeles to fight crime. As he settles into his hideout and job, Melvin reveals his strengths and weaknesses as a superhero who must abide by the Superhero code. What is a superhero without a sidekick? Through the mix up of capes, learn how Candace Brinkwater becomes his assistant crime fighter. The dynamic duo team up to capture the malodorous bank robbers, the McNasty Brothers. The smelly siblings, Grunge and Filthy McNasty, discover and use Melvin's weakness, bologna, to their benefit when planning a getaway. It is up to Melvin to use his brainpower to figure out a plan before Grunge and Filthy escape with their loot. In the back of the book, there is a brief profile of the superheroes, Melvin and Candace, along with the McNasty Brothers, a list of the Superhero Codes, and a very short biography of Melvin (before his entrance into the Superhero Academy). The artist, Rhode Montijo, uses a comical quality in the illustrations and includes his prototypes in designing the superheroes. Greg Trine spreads typical superhero cliches throughout the story and adds bits of narrator humor. This kids book is the first in the "Melvin Beederman, Superhero" series.
