Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain by Richard Roberts

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book grabbed my attention because of the title. It sounded fun. And, hands down, it was.

13 year old, Penelope's parents are Superheroes. The two smartest ones known. And Penelope's been waiting for her powers to start manifesting so she can join the ranks of LA's Superhero community.

But when her powers do start to manifest, she's told by her parents that it's going to take a few years for them to fully form. But what she doesn't tell them is that the powers are growing faster than expected. And what those powers prove to make her into... a mad scientist. So Penny, along with her best friends Claire and Ray, who both also develop powers, team up.

They start proving themselves to the Superhero/Supervillain communities, hoping to be taken seriously. And while everyone labels them to be villains, Penny hopes to one day still be part of the Hero side.

But until then, what's a 13 year old Mad Scientist to do but have fun and show up the Grown-ups.

I completely enjoyed this book, found myself smiling throughout it and am looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend.
