Super Turbo vs. the Pencil Pointer

By Lee Kirby and George O'Connor

He’s not just the class pet hamster, he’s SUPER TURBO! Super Turbo battles the evil Pencil Pointer in this third book of the Super Turbo chapter book series.

You know Turbo as the hamster sidekick from the Captain Awesome books. But ever wonder what actually goes on when the last school bell rings and Turbo is left to his own devices? He’s SUPER TURBO and he’s here to fight evil in and out of the classroom!

In this third book, there’s a new villain in the classroom. He’s big, he’s shiny, and he can sharpen a pencil like Super Turbo has never seen. And he stares at Turbo. All. Day. Long. But just when Turbo begins to think that the Pencil Pointer might not be that evil…the villain starts spewing pencil shavings! If he keeps at it, Turbo’s hamster home will be destroyed. Then Turbo learns that evil isn’t only trying to take over his classroom. The rest of the classroom pets are battling their own Pencil Pointers! Can the Superhero Superpet League stop the Pencil Pointers and save the school—and themselves?

With easy-to-read language, illustrations, and comic panels on almost every page, the Super Turbo chapter books are perfect for emerging readers!

Lee Kirby

Lee Kirby has the proportionate strength and abilities of a man-sized hamster. He spends his days chewing up cardboard and running in giant plastic bubbles throughout his very own fortress of solitude in Brooklyn, New York. And, no, he is not related to world-famous Captain Awesome author, Stan Kirby. Or is he?

What is this big secret, you might ask? We’ll get to that. For now, Sunnyview Elementary School is just your typical old elementary school. And Classroom C of Sunnyview Elementary School is just your typical second-grade classroom.

Oh sure, Turbo might look like an ordinary hamster. But remember that big secret? Well, here it is. You see, Turbo isn’t an ordinary hamster. He’s also . . . Super Turbo, the mightiest super-hamster in the entire known universe!

But the students of Classroom C have no idea that Turbo is a super-hamster. And Turbo has to protect his secret identity. So around the kids, Turbo is just typical Turbo. That’s okay with him because being the official pet of Classroom C is a big duty and even superheroes enjoy some time off!

The bell sounded the end of the school day. Some of the students filed past Turbo’s cage and waved to him on their way out.

Ms. Beasley spent a few minutes gathering up her things, and then she left too. Good night, Turbo, see you tomorrow! she called as she shut the door behind her.

What to do? thought Turbo. He didn’t have any plans
