The Adventures of captain Underpants

The Adventures of Captain Underpants
by: Dav Pilkey
          Have you ever wanted to find out if someone was a superhero?! Well students Harold & George have.
      One day at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, George & Harold were playing pranks on the other students.  Mr.Krupp, the principal, walked in and caught them red handed.  Harold & George both knew what was going to happen to them.  They were in for a big and bad surprise a really bad surprise of being in trouble.  They got detention and after school detention. Mr. Krupp made them write on every board in the room until it was filled with, "I will obey every word my handsome & charming principal says and never, never disobey."  Right as Mr. Krupp was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned around and grinned and said, "Let me find out if one of you leaves the room, I will suspend you both." Harold's and George's faces both turned beet red.  Once Mr. Krupp actually left the room, Harold & George both got rods and chalk, and they stuck chalk in each hole of the rods.  Every time they wrote one sentence with a piece of chalk, it would actually write 12 sentences at the same time.  They did that so they would get done a lot faster! 

This was not the first time Harold and George did something bad like that.  They did some other bad things such as, change the letters on the boards outside of the schools.  Sometimes they even did bad things that got them sent to the principals office.  The boys didn't even try to stay out of trouble, but if you read this book, you will know what NOT to do at school.  Don't do what these boys do, because you will end up in trouble.

To see amazing action, thrills, romance (just kidding about that romance part) and even more flip-o-roma, get out the door and go check you local library.
