Captain Underpants And The Wrath Of The Wicked Wedgie Women
In the fifth "epic novel" about the extraordinary Captain  Underpants--"faster than a speeding waistband... more powerful than boxer  shorts"--the formidable superhero is under siege by a terrifying new enemy, the  merciless bionic-powered Wedgie Woman. Will Captain Underpants overcome his fear  of spray starch in time to save the world from the evil schemes of Wedgie Woman?  No one knows... except maybe George and Harold, the imaginative fourth-grade  troublemakers (imagination is not allowed at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School),  who are also the creative minds behind Captain Underpants and Wedgie Woman. You  see, it all started (as it usually does) with a comic strip drawn and  illustrated by the boys. When their mean teacher Miss Ribble gets her hands on  the comic book, their troubles really begin.Fans who have been eagerly awaiting Book 5 in the series, preceded by such gems  asCaptain Underpants and the  Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer SpaceandCaptain Underpants and the  Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, will heave a sigh of relief at  the appearance of Pilkey's latest tongue-in-cheek superhero adventure novel.  Goofier than ever, with plenty of boyish drawings and juvenile humor, this  lightweight chapter book is the answer to reluctant (and avid) readers' dreams.  If descriptions of Wedgie Woman's bionic hair and the "ubrupt" ending of the  "happyness" on the planet of Underpantyworld don't turn grade-schoolers into  bookworms, what will? By the way, don't let the quotation from Einstein at the  front of the book mislead you; this is lowbrow humor at its very finest.
