Book Review
By Alex Zhou
Alex Zhou wanted to share his book review with GWN and our readers. Here is a short summary of the story “Captain Underpants”:
There were two kids named George Beard and Harold Hutchins with a mean principal named Mr. Krupp. Since they hated their principal, they bought the hypno ring. They hypnotized Mr. Krupp and turned him into Captain Underpants.The principal really thought he was Captain Underpants and dressed as Captain Underpants. He jumped out the window and went out to fight for justice. Since the two boys made comic books about Captain Underpants, they wanted to make copies of their comic book. Someone named Melvin Sneedly made a PATSY 2000 which was made out of a copy machine. It was placed in the gymnasium. Melvin Sneedly told them that it turns two dimensional things into real three dimensional things. They tried using the PATSY 2000 to copy their comic book because they thought Melvin Sneedly was tricking them. The PATSY 2000 really did turn 2 dimensional things into 3 dimensional things so the things in the comic book turned into real life. There were talking toilets in the book which were evil. They were supposed to be in the detention room and weren't supposed to go out of the detention room even if they had a reason. They were found at the door of the gymnasium because they were scared of the talking toilets from the comic book and Mr. Krupp was at the door. Mr. Krupp suspended them and wanted to have a party with the teachers in the gymnasium. The talking toilets were still in the gymnasium and ate all the teachers. Then Captain Underpants came to the rescue. The talking toilets were outside so the two boys and Captain Underpants went outside. The toilets surrounded them. The two boys were scared. Captain Underpants said “Never underestimate the power of underwear!” Captain Underpants killed all the toilets. There was one left. The toilet ate Captain Underpants. The boys made a picture of machine and used the PATSY 2000. It became alive. It killed the toilet and fixed the school. Then it flew to Uranus. The two boys got to be principals of the day and for the rest of the day the children in the school got to play.
GWN also interviewed Alex about the book:
