Nolan has spent his whole life as a nerd. He doesn't have a lot of friends and bully Bubba Bixby seems to have made it his goal to make Nolan's life miserable. Things are bleak until one day when Nolan has an idea. A great idea. One that will change his world forever. He decides to create a secret identity, a superhero named Shredderman, and put Bubba Bixby in his place! Nolan uses his greatest asset - his brains - and builds a website devoted to exposing Bubba for the cruel bully he really is. When Shredderman.com goes live Nolan starts by posting a few jokes, later adding photographic evidence of Bubba's misdeeds obtained from his cleverly hidden camera. Soon traffic on the website is growing and Shredderman, champion of truth and justice, is the most popular thing to hit the 5th grade. Children always cry for justice, while their parents tend to beg for mercy. This book is perfect for every kid who's ever wanted a villain to get his just deserts. After all, I'd hate to be Bubba Bixby after everything that Shredderman puts him through! Nolan's spy tactics are very clever and engaging. This story is pretty straightforward, an easy read that can still appeal to slightly older kids. Best of all, Shredderman's adventures continue on in three additional volumes.
Overall Grade: A-
