The Adventures Of Captain Underpants, The First Epic Novel By Dav Pilkey

The Adventures Of Captain Underpants, The First Epic Novel By Dav Pilkey, Paperback The Adventures of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Novel is the first book in Dav Pilkey's popular series. It introduces fourth graders George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two prank-loving best friends at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. The boys create comic books about a superhero named Captain Underpants, a goofy, underwear-clad hero with super strength and a penchant for wedgies. When their principal, the grumpy Mr. Krupp, discovers their comics, he confiscates them and threatens to separate the boys into different classes. In retaliation, George and Harold use a 3D Hypno-Ring they found in a cereal box to hypnotize Mr. Krupp. When he hears the sound of fingers snapping, he transforms into the real-life Captain Underpants—just like their comic character. The newly created superhero immediately runs amok, causing chaos with his silly antics. The boys must then manage their unpredictable creation while also dealing with the arrival of the sinister Dr. Diaper, a villain from Captain Underpants’ imagined rogues' gallery who somehow comes to life. Together, the boys and their accidental hero battle Dr. Diaper in a series of hilarious, action-packed, and absurd encounters. The story is told with a mix of text and comic-style illustrations, capturing the irreverent, kid-powered humor that defines the series.
