Captain Awesome and the Missing Elephants

Captain Awesome #10

by Stan Kirby, George O'Connor (Illustrator)

Captain Awesome and his superhero pals must foil dastardly distractions at the zoo in this animal adventure.

Sunnyview Elementary School is off to the zoo! Meanie Meredith is head over heels for the pink flamingos (even though they are the most evil color ever), and Eugene can’t wait to see the elephants. Unfortunately, they seem to be missing.

Once again, it’s up to Captain Awesome and his superhero pals to fight evil (MI-TEE!) and see past the diversionary tactics of their tour guide in order to find and rescue the most awesome animal in the park.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Captain Awesome chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

About the author

When Stan Kirby was 6-years-old, he tied a beach towel around his neck and became Super Commander Beach Boy. He tried his best to protect sand castles from the waves, keep seagulls away from his French fries, and keep the beach clean.

When Stan's not creating the awesome adventures of Captain Awesome, he loves reading comic books, eating okra, and hang-gliding (but not at the same time).

Reviews

[Mandi Ellsworth]

I read this to my children and my eight year old thought it was hilarious, while my teenager thought it was too silly to be allowed. It seems there is an age limit to these stories. I also thought it was silly, but the references in the writing are fun and the characters are over-the-top and full of spunk. Great for middle-grade readers who have superhero-itis.

I really liked the fact that you put animals in the book, but we have to be on the lookout for moody Meredith. I also liked the part when Eugene and his pals made the Elephants move. This is such a fun series! I can't wait to read more!

My 8-year old was a fan, but this book is too much of a chore to read out loud. I know it’s for kids, but way too many unnecessary words and strange action.

Loved the zoo cafeteria freak-out!
