Captain Awesome Gets a Hole-in-One

By Stan Kirby and George O'Connor

Captain Awesome battles evil on the mini-golf course! Will the Sunnyview Superhero Squad be able to stop a cheater AND rescue a golf ball from a waterfall?

Eugene, Charlie, and Sally are going mini-golfing! But there’s a hitch. They're going mini-golfing for Meredith Mooney’s (aka Little Miss Stinky Pinky’s) birthday party. The Sunnyview Superhero Squad tries to make the best of the situation, but that situation turns sour when Meredith starts losing. Meredith does not like to lose—especially not to Eugene, who seems to be an awesome mini-golfer!

Meredith’s spirits pick up when she begins to win...and continues to win. But WAIT! Did Meredith just tap the ball into the hole with her foot when no one else was looking? Captain Awesome has discovered her secret and is about to reveal her, but first he must rescue a golf ball from a treacherous waterfall of doom!

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Captain Awesome chapter books are perfect for beginning readers!

Charlie nodded. Let’s hurry to class!

I do not want to miss one second of a great day, Sally said.

The trio ran all the way to their classroom.

Morning, Turbo, Eugene said to the class hamster. Turbo looked up from his carrot and squeaked a tiny squeak.

Eugene squeezed his backpack into his cubby and sat at his desk.

His awesome-but-actually-awful day was about to begin.

Eugene’s idol, Super Dude, would have sniffed out the evil that was about to strike, but—

Wait, what’s that?

You’ve never heard of Super Dude?
