    About this ebook

    Will Captain Awesome successfully take on Little Miss Stinky Pinky to become the winner of the second-grade spelling bee?

    Eugene McGillicuddy’s superhero alter ego, Captain Awesome, relies on a wide array of superpowers to keep the town of Sunnyview safe from “bad guys.” But when Ms. Beasley announces that Eugene will be representing the class in the second grade spelling bee (along with Meredith Mooney—yuck!), Captain Awesome wonders if his spelling superpowers are strong enough to defeat his nemesis, Little Miss Stinky Pinky. Will Captain Awesome prevail and keep the spelling bee trophy safe from evil? M-I-T-E-E!

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

    Captain Awesome and the Ultimate Spelling Bee - Stan Kirby

    A-CHOOO!

    SNIFF!

    SNURFFLE!

    Eugene McGillicudy sat at his desk in Ms. Beasley’s class and wiped his nose with a tissue. It was only ten o’clock, and he’d been sneezing all morning.

    A-CHOO!

    He did it again. Maybe Eugene shouldn’t have moved his desk next to the open window. But he had to. It was the only way Eugene could keep an eye out for evil while still in school.

    It was the kind of thing that Super Dude did when he went undercover in Super Dude vs. the Evil School No. 2.

    What’s that?

    You’ve never heard of Super Dude? Really?! How could you not know about the greatest superhero in the whole world? He’s the superhero who single-handedly crushed The Crimson Crusher and still had enough time to rescue a baby ferret from an apple tree.

    Eugene could tell you all about Super Dude because Eugene had read every single comic book starring the superhero. In fact, Super Dude was the reason Eugene became Captain Awesome.

    With his best friend, Charlie Thomas Jones (also known as the superhero Nacho Cheese Man), and the class pet hamster, Turbo, Eugene formed the Sunnyview Superhero Squad to stop evil bad guys.

    Eugene took a deep, happy breath. There was no evil outside the school window today. Then he let out a giant sneeze.

    A-CHOOO!

    Dude, you’ve been sneezing all morning, Charlie whispered. You okay?

    Charlie was right! Eugene had been sneezing all morning and so had many of the other kids in class.

    Don’t you see, Charlie?! It’s all part of his evil plan! Eugene whispered urgently.

    You’re right! Charlie gasped. Then he paused and added, Whose evil plan?

    Only the most evil of springtime villains! Eugene replied.

    "The
