Melvin Beederman is a superhero who lives in a tree house in Los Angeles. His partner Candace lives with her parents in Los Angeles. They are both superhero kids. They both get a call from their favorite rock star, the Grateful Fred, who says a bad guy is after him. They go down a list of bad guys to find the right one. Will they catch the right one?
I liked this book because it has exciting and descriptive details like when Melvin Beederman tried to get off the ground and fly. My favorite part was when Joe, the bad guy, was flexing Melvin’s biceps, because it was super funny. The character that I liked was Melvin Beederman, because he is funny. He made me laugh when he was determined to get off the ground.
I recommend Melvin Beederman to people who like, unrealistic, funny, books. I also recommend it to children who are 6, 7, or 8 because it will make them laugh. All the action of the story will really interest readers. I liked it so much that I wanted to read it over and over again.
