Kids will likely come to this graphic novel series for the breakfast food theme, and stay for the laughs and adventure. After accidentally ingesting some of the visiting scientist Prof. Egglentine Egg's super serum at her school's Career Day, Peggy Pancake realizes she has superpowers. When her friend (and wannabe sidekick) Luc Croissant is captured by the evil Dr. Breakfast Sandwich, Peggy must embrace her new role as Super Pancake to save him. (Ages 7 to 10)


While visiting his scientist best friend, Mindy Microbe, the feline content creator Max Meow nibbles a radioactive meatball from outer space, giving him superpowers. He becomes the Cat Crusader, keeping Kittyopolis safe. When the evil mouse Agent M and a cloaked Big Boss send their henchman robot to steal the meatball, Max flies into action. The technicolor twists and turns and cliffhanger chapter endings of this graphic novel will have readers racing to the end. (Ages 7 to 10)
