The Epic Origin of Super Potato
Book 1
From the Series Super Potato
Super Max has it all. He’s a superhero with a flashy uniform and a great head of hair. Sure, sometimes the evil Dr. Malevolent pops up to cause trouble. But Super Max has defeated the villain over and over again.
This time is different. This time, Dr. Malevolent’s plan works . . . and he turns the handsome hero into a tiny tuber! But there’s one thing the doctor didn’t count on. The potato still has powers, and justice takes many forms. Super Max may be gone . . . but it’s Super Potato’s time to fly!
This hilarious, irreverent graphic novel series will entice fans of Captain Underpants and The Lego Batman Movie. Spanish cartoonist Artur Laperla presents the adventures of a costumed crime-fighter who turns into a potato and becomes a bigger hero than ever. He faces off against sinister scientists, slugs from space, giant chickens, and more in a series of graphic novels perfect for reluctant readers.

Reviews
School Library Journal
“A zany, funny selection that will entertain kids and the adults who might be reading over their shoulders.”—starred, School Library Journal
Booklist
“If Loony Tunes was in the superhero business, this is something it might have baked up.”—Booklist
Publishers Weekly
“Laperla’s parody strikes an easy comedic tone from the first page, and its wackiness unspools effortlessly. . . . A promising start to a series with appeal to strong and reluctant readers alike.”—Publishers Weekly
