A few million miles away from Los Angeles, danger is lurking. Evil aliens with some seriously hard to pronounce names like Zzykrkv are visiting earth from their home planet, Dork--to kidnap earthlings for their science class!
While busy on a snack food errand . . . uh, mission . . . Melvin Beederman, official superhero of Los Angeles, senses that something doesn't feel quite right. Can Melvin, Candance, and friends from the Superhero Academy prevail over extraterrestrial bad guys with a spaceship powered by a Gamma drive? Holy alien invasion!

Horn Book Review
Melvin and his superhero crew leave LA for outer space when rogue aliens kidnap two of their own. Dorkily heroic as ever, Melvin splats, thuds, and kabonks his way to saving the day yet again, in a manner very similar to his seven previous efforts. The goofiness, reinforced by comics-style black-and-white illustrations, will tickle Melvin followers. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
