When Second Graders Attack

(3) 1-3 Horace Splattly: The Cupcaked Crusader series. Illustrated by Barry Gott. The evil Chef Nibbles has hypnotized the second-grade Lily Deaver scout troop into doing his bidding--namely to destroy all the grocery stores and restaurants, forcing the town to eat Nibbles' Snoodles and Cheaze. It's up to fourth-grader Horace Splattly (a.k.a. the Cupcaked Crusader) to save the day. Fans of the absurd will enjoy the kitsch drama. Black-and-white cartoon art adds to the silliness.
