I love when he eats the cupcakes! it is so cool man!read it now!I said now! go! go!go!read it I love it so moch.

A sweet treat for young readers!

Imagine what a news report this would be: Scientist Sister Creates Superhero Brother! It's certainly a story you'd want to read. Poor Horace Splatley is not only the shortest kid in town, he has a sister who is bigger and younger! After experimenting with a crazy recipe for strange purple cupcakes, she forces Horace to eat them and wear a purple costume. (It's sure not easy having mad scientist in the family!) But little Horace has the soul of a hero, and soon finds himself flying around town and confronting a giant guinea pig who appears in the schoolyard. Will Horace save the town? The story is fast-paced, very silly and very entertaining. Horace Splattley: The Cupcaked Crusader is sure to have young readers begging for a second helping of laughs.

Horace Splattly: The Cupcaked Crusader

Buy this book, it's very exciting

My mommy bought me this book. I liked this book very much. It was very funny. I liked that the cupcaked crusader had superpowers because he ate cupcakes, that was exciting. The powers only last for a few hours and it was sad when he lost them. I like that this book is about a boy, there are many books about girls already. The pictures very neat too.I am now reading the second book and hope it is as good as the first one. Maybe it will be even better.
