Magic Pickle Vs. The Egg Poacher

A parent might reach for this book when their child, especially a reluctant reader, needs a dose of pure, silly fun to show them how entertaining reading can be. This zany graphic novel tells the story of Jo Jo, a regular kid whose life is turned upside down when she discovers a flying, talking, superhero pickle living in her bedroom. This pickle, a top-secret government experiment, fights crime with Jo Jo as his newly-recruited sidekick. Their first foe is the dastardly Egg Poacher, who plans to unleash a giant omelet monster on the world. The story is a whirlwind of slapstick humor, teamwork, and classic good versus evil fun. Its fast pace and comic-style format make it perfect for kids aged 7 to 10 who love cartoons and superheroes but want something much funnier and less intense than traditional comics.
