Book 118 of 200 ~ 2023
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Such a hilarious book with clever twists and, of course, it comes with life lessons.
Couldn't stop giggling as I read it and I felt a little bad for Norma but you know her special powers are her brain and initiative.
Highly recommend!

The Unsuper Adventures of Norma engages the reader in its silliness, full color illustrations and creative characters superpowers. There's Cam the Chameleon, Claire Voyant, Flrrrrp who can mimic any sound, and Pete and RePete who can create an infinite number of versions of themselves. Believe it or not there's even a giant talking butt who humorously flaps his cheeks when he talks and strangely enough has a fartbomb that can destroy the universe. Yep, slightly silly but doesn't contain the butt humor or jokes that say you'd find in something like The Adventures of Captain Underpants. Despite not being the target audience for this book, I did find that I enjoyed it. I liked the lists that the kids created and the way that they split up into teams. One group finding out more about Lord Fartron and the bootyburp colony he was supposed to be from, another researching the giant whirlpool, trying to find links to other places that have had their superpowers stolen and finally researching the Megapoot bomb. I also really liked Norma who despite not having any superpowers, proved to be the most beneficial in coming up with a plan to save the town. I loved her creative inventions and ideas. How she finally could relate to everyone on a human level, and how she even found common likes and dislikes with her classmates.
