GEEKS GIRLS AND SECRET IDENTITIES
JUNG, MIKE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Vincent Wu is Captain Stupendous's No. 1 Fan, but even he has to admit that Captain Stupendous has been a
little off lately. During Professor Mayhem's latest attack, Captain Stupendous barely made it out alive - although
he did manage to save Vincent from a giant monster robot. It's Vincent's dream come true... until he finds out
Captain Stupendous's secret identity: It's Polly Winnicott-Lee, the girl Vincent happens to have a crush on.
Captain Stupendous's powers were recently transferred to Polly in a fluke accident, and so while she has all of
his super strength and super speed, she doesn't know how to use them, and she definitely doesn't know all the
strengths and weaknesses of his many nemeses. But Vincent and his friends are just the right fan club to train
up their favorite superhero before he (she?) has to face Professor Mayhem again. And if they make it through
this battle for the safety of Copperplate City, Vincent might just get up the courage to ask Polly on a date.
