Synopsis

Supervillains do not merely play hooky.

True, coming back to school after a month spent fighting—and defeating—adult superheroes is a bit of a comedown for the Inscrutable Machine. When offered the chance to skip school in the most dramatic way possible, Penelope Akk can't resist. With the help of a giant spider and mysterious red goo, she builds a spaceship and flies to Jupiter.

Mutant goats. Secret human colonies. A war between three alien races with humanity as the prize. Robot overlords and evil plots. Penny and her friends find all this and more on Jupiter's moons, but what they don't find are any heroes to save the day.

Fortunately, they have an angry eleven year old and a whole lot of mad science . . .

Goodreads review by Wayland

I'm a long time fan of superheroes and pretty much everything to do with them. I've been reading comics since the mid 1980's, review all the hero-based tv shows and movies, and have published novels and short stories in the genre. I'd say I'm a hero geek and something of an expert. This series is ma......more

Goodreads review by Eric

Meh. It wasn't terrible, but it is a step down from the first book. The first book had an actual storyline. This book is more a collection of things that happen, and not so much a cohesive story. It sort of goes off the rails early on, and never really gets back on. It's definitely a little more sill......more
