Let's get ready to Bumble!When chubby 10 year old Kenny Lane is stung by a radioactive bumblebee he develops wings and compound eyes. The good news: against all the odds he can fly. Sort of. The bad news: he's not sure he is the right shape or has what it takes to be a superhero.To be like a spider or wolverine, that would have been much more cool. To be just plain and simple super, well, that would have been super. But when his family and hometown are placed in mortal danger by a ghastly villain Kenny realises that being bee-like has its uses.His classmate and fellow dork, Dinkesh, is a giant brain on legs who invents gadgets like the BeeMX rocket powered bike, the BeeZooka and the Bubble Gun.Kenny lives in a town called Blackwater with his adoptive parents, George and Marjorie, and his real sister, Sarah.The enemy who threatens them all is the ghastly Green Bogey, aka Mr Green, the nutty caretaker and former science teacher who has built a mad lab underneath the children's school. The slimy monster he can become is the result of an insane experiment gone wrong.With his sarcastic supercomputer, MUCUS, the Green Bogey intends to rule Blackwater and then the world.Spare a thought for Blackwater's senior police officer, Inspector Potter. His first name is Harry and for many years he's been on the receiving end of jokes. Only days ago someone locked him in the police station toilet and painted CHAMBER OF SECRETS on the door.For this and all the latest news from Blackwater search for The Blackwater Bugle.
