Two friends, Captain Awesome and Nacho Cheeseman, make up the Sunnyview Superhero Squad. At school and in the neighborhood they help others to feel more comfortable and safe including a new student named Sally.

Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, Captain Awesome and Nacho Cheese Man explore their world and fight evil in the forms of Dr. Spinach (cafeteria worker who doles out vegetables) and Mr. Drools (a large drooling dog). In this book in the series, there is a new kid in town named Sally. Our intrepid heroes aren't too sure about her, but they come around. As a transitional chapter book, this work is a bit complex, but children will like reading about the adventures of Captain Awesome because they can relate to him, especially if said children have wild imaginations. Chapter titles are illustrated as if a kid had drawn them, but there are professional pen and ink cartoon style illustrations throughout the rest of the book. Funny, relateable material, and full of discovery, this book is highly recommended for precocious readers. Highly Recommended. ( )
