The Madness of Captain Cyclops

(4) 4-6 Calico Chapter Books: Kid Squad Saves the World series. Illustrated by Mike Laughead. Whenever an impending disaster threatens the world, the Kid Squad is called to action. With the help of Dr. I.N. Stein and his most desirable invention--the Amulator--the four friends travel through time and space to prevent the world from going "kaput." While the good-versus-evil plots are predictable, the history/sci-fi/hero adventures are manageable reluctant-reader fare; cartoony black-and-white illustrations are amateurish. Review covers Kid Squad titles: The Comet of Doom, The Egyptian Prophecy, The Madness of Captain Cyclops, and The Snickerblooms and the Age Bug
