Special Feature - Kai Strand's new book Super Bad Revealed...
Watch out. Things are about to get really bad
Excerpt from Super Bad :The classroom door opened and Sandra glanced toward it, along withthe thirty other kids in the room. She snickered and raised her eyebrows atLexa when a young man wearing a Hermes costume, complete with wings flutteringon his heels, floated in.“I’m not gonna lie,” Lexa leaned over to whisper. “I hope a draftlifts his skirt so we can see what’s underneath.”Sandra giggled. “My guess is bun huggers. Gold lame to match hisshiny winged cap.”Lexa waggled her eyebrows. “Shiny gold buns. I like.”The teacher frowned at the young man. “Can I help you?”“I have a delivery for Sandra Tohler.”Sandra gulped. This couldn’t be anything besides embarrassing. Atidal wave of heads turned toward her causing her cheeks to flush with heat.Seeing where everyone’s attention settled, the Hermes guy floatedbetween the rows of desks and came to rest near hers. “Sandra Tohler?”Reluctantly, she nodded.He cleared his throat before delivering a soliloquy in a clear,resonating voice that Sandra was sure the students in classrooms across campuswould hear.“Sandra, oh Sandra, my lovely, stormy vixen,hear my humble plea. Your essence has absorbed into my every thought and now Iwonder how I will sit for my exams. Will I answer essay questions by describingthe intense sable color of your hair, or the enticing moss of your eyes thatmakes me imagine us lying in each others arms in a fairy forest?”Sandra’s forehead hit her desk with a loud thunk, her voice a mumbleagainst the surface. “Please stop. Go away.”But the Hermes guy continued in his orator’s voice. “I’ve relivedour kiss uncountable times. Your lips were velvet soft, but demanding.”A chorus of “Ooo,” erupted through the room.
SUPER BAD The unexpected conclusion to theSuper Villain Academy series.
The world is in chaos. Violence and thievery reign. And withthe supers still balanced, it’s only getting worse. Without good versus evil,the supers care less and less. In order to restore purpose, the world needs itssuper heroes and its super villains, but the one who balanced them in the firstplace is missing.
Sandra’s concern over finding her brother, Jeff, isn’t heronly problem. Her pathetic excuse for super powers has left her needing a newankle. And though she’s still very much committed to her boyfriend, Source,she’s growing unreasonably attracted to Set, the boy who double crossed Jeff bystealing his girlfriend.
