Super Pancake and the Mini Muffin Mayhem

Ages 7 to 10, Grades 2 to 5

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a . . . pancake? The syrupy superhero of Breakfast Town, Peggy Pancake, is now up against her toughest, scariest obstacle yet: babysitting.

When we last saw our hero Peggy Pancake, she was mastering her newfound superhero abilities and saving her sidekick, Luc Croissant, from the scary clutches of Dr. Evil Breakfast Sandwich and his sinister Henchtoasts. Now, Peggy balances being a superhero with her everyday life--going to school and hiding her crime-fighting identity from her family. 

This Spring Break, Peggy has homework to complete: write an instructional "How To" paper. Soon, Peggy's mom volunteers her to babysit six rambunctious mini muffins so she can write about "how to be responsible." That shouldn't be too bad, right? Nothing's worse than an Evil Breakfast Sandwich! Maybe Peggy can even finish her paper...

But Peggy soon learns that she underestimated her responsibility...and created an accidental villian in the process. Can Peggy and Luc save Breakfast Town and all that is dear? Find out in: SUPER PANCAKE AND THE MINI MUFFIN MAYHEM!
