The Most Evil, Friendly Villain Ever

(3) 4-6 Horace Splattly: The Cupcaked Crusader series. Illustrated by Barry Gott. An amorous villain named the "Heartbreaker" is ruining recess at Blootinville Elementary by conjuring rainstorms over the playground. All the students end up in the library, forced to listen to the surly science teacher's boring epic autobiography. It's up to Horace to set things right. Fans of the series will enjoy this humorous, quirky, fast-paced installment. Cartoony black-and-white art appears throughout.
