He’s not just the class pet hamster, he’s SUPER TURBO! In this second book, Super Turbo battles flying ninja squirrels who threaten to take over the school!
You know Turbo as the crime-fighting hamster from the Captain Awesome books. But ever wonder what actually goes on when the last school bell rings and Turbo is left to his own devices? After all, what do you think your class pets do all day? You think they sleep, eat, and wait for you to play with them? Well, think again, because Turbo isn’t just any hamster. He’s SUPER TURBO and he’s here to fight evil in and out of the classroom! Along with his superpet companions, Turbo battles everyday evils at Sunnyview Elementary, such as flying ninja squirrels, a gang of evil rats, giant Eraser Dude, and more!
In this second book, Turbo and the Superpet Superhero League think they can lay low for a little while since they defeated Whiskerface and his rat pack…but they’re wrong! When something goes flying across Classroom C while Turbo is jogging on his wheel, he speeds up that jog and springs into action. Because it’s not just something flying across his classroom. It’s an evil flying ninja squirrel determined to take over the school with his pals. The Superpet Superhero League must stop them!

Super Turbo is the pet hamster in Classroom C, at Sunnyvale Elementary. In this book, Turbo and the other members of the Super Pet Superhero League attempt to battle the flying ninja squirrels, who are in search of their missing Golden Acorn.
This is book number two in the Super Turbo series. For those familiar with the Captain Awesome book series, Turbo is Eugene’s sidekick, who now stars in his own series. I think the title of this book is a bit misleading, as the flying ninja squirrels don’t actually make an appearance until chapter six of nine. This book has short chapters and lots of illustrations, including comic panels, which will appeal to young readers. Fans of the Captain Awesome series will enjoy this new series featuring a character they are already familiar with. My eight-year-old son really enjoyed this book and had already read the first book in the series.
The classroom pets reunite to fight evil but at first they don't know what it is they are fighting. Everything seems fine to begin with, but Professor Turtle is super fast right now which is weird... They make a volcano and eat nachos which seems like an awesome day but then someone is sneaking around Classroom C! Who is it? Are they the evil ones, or is there something more sinister going on?
I read this in one sitting with my first grader. We had read the first one, where you meet all the characters (although it's confusing to keep track of the name, animal, and superhero name). I actually liked this one better. It had some predictable parts, so it provided good conversation along the way.
The Superpet Superhero League returns. After his defeat by the League, Whiskerface and his Ratpack seek revenge. Meanwhile, Flying Ninja Squirrels has invaded Sunnyview Elementary school seeking a valuable artifact that Nutkin, their leader thinks, is somewhere inside the school.
An early chapter book. A mix of prose and comics. Whiskerface steals the golden acorn from a group of flying ninja squirrels, leaving the Super Pets to deal with the consequences.
