(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Barry Gott. Horace, the littlest guy in his class, gains super powers when he eats the weird cupcakes specially baked by his bossy, genius younger sister. These enable him to rescue his principal from a giant principal-eating gerbil--goofy plotting that readers with a silly sense of humor will love. The idiosyncratic characters are strongly drawn, while Gott's cartoon art adds a suave touch.
