But why? Let me tell you about Villain’s Vacation.

Four disabled seventh-graders with superpowers take a vacation at Coaster World. They need a break from fighting criminals. Ever since the beginning of the school year when they acquired their unusual abilities, they’ve been training and using those powers to fight crime in their town.

Little do they know the arch-villain they recently defeated also loves coasters and is vacationing at Coaster World. Worse, the villain wants revenge. Nothing less than turning these teens to a life of crime will satisfy.

Can Jeremy, Dan, Kayla, and Aubrey withstand the villain’s attacks? Or will they become Super Villains?

A Reader’s Review of Villain’s Vacation

5.0 out of 5 stars 

Secret Supers are back for another adventure!

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022

In this sequel to Secret Supers, Jeremy has been experimenting on his hamster. As a result, Dancer has learned how to read, and is reading everything he can to learn about the human world. When Jeremy discovers this, he gets Dancer one of his old cell phones so Dancer can text the group.

As for the superhero business, the group needs some downtime and goes on vacation to Coaster World. What they don’t realize is that the villain they defeated also loves roller coasters and wants revenge against the Secret Supers.

Will the Secret Supers be able to defeat the villain and enjoy their vacation, or are their crime-fighting days numbered?

This was a fun sequel to Secret Supers. Not only did we have Andy Zach as a character in the book, as though the events were true and actually happened, but I loved the inclusion of a Super-Hamster helping out Jeremy and his friends. In this battle against the villain, the Secret Supers struggle, as the villain seems to have figured out how to neutralize their powers, and they not only have to call in support but also reveal themselves to some non-Supers.

The action was well-paced throughout, and the mystery of the identity of the villain was well-done. While I had suspicions, I wasn’t sure before the reveal, which was nice. If you enjoyed Secret Supers, I feel confident that you will also enjoy Villain’s Vacation.

For this book, I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Michael Stafford. This was a different narrator from The Secret Supers, which was a little odd to my ears at first, but I think that was only because I had listened to Secret Supers so recently. Stafford gave a wonderful performance, and I would certainly listen to this audiobook again.

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a Zombie Turkey!

Illinois Zombie Ready

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a Zombie Turkey on me!

“But how do I get my zombie turkey, Andy? I don’t like to give out my address over the internet. I don’t want anyone to know where I live.”

“You simply download your zombie turkey.”

“What???”

Happy Thanksgiving! Have A Zombie Turkey – Or Secret Supers

I’ve got a lot of turkey posts. Not posts that are turkeys, but ones like this:

I also have my Secret Supers book for free–until November 19. So grab your now by clicking here!

Here’s what it’s about:

Jeremy Gentle fell flat on his face at therapy. That was normal since he had cerebral palsy. But his new superpower wasn’t normal. Then things got weirder when his best friend, Dan Elanga, got a different superpower. But Dan was still blind.

Kayla Verdera and Aubrey Wilcosky, two girls in their middle-school special ed class, discovered they too had new superpowers. Kayla was mute and needed a walker. Aubrey lost two legs and used crutches. But they were as powerful as the boys.

What should the four friends do? Jeremy knew if the word got out, it’d be a media circus. Then they started fighting crime, as the Secret Supers. Who knew a disability could be a perfect disguise? No one would ever think of disabled kids as superheroes. Then they ran into problems they never expected.

But wait! I have yet more turkey postings coming up.

Happy Thanksgiving Have a Zombie Turkey

There’s still more for you. How about the following–zombie dinosaurs!

Zombie dinosaurs! There's one I hadn't thought of.

Other fun stuff for you this Thanksgiving

How about an old movie?

Queen of Outer Space, with Zsa Zsa Gabor

Trigger warning: this is a politically incorrect movie from the 50s. You can watch the whole thing on Youtube below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLmi7NPCwT0&list=PLvLBunpX6ZX1Y7enpybk_YlSrK-P8tFV2&index=2&ab_channel=YouTubeMovies

Continuing on in the outer space for the Thanksgiving theme, we have the next post: a gorgeous video of the largest volcano in the Solar System–the size of France and three times the height of Everest!

And we’ll finish up with the largest planet in the Solar System.

Let's on with Juno to Jupiter!
