Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Women (Captain Underpants #5)

The fifth book in Dav Pilkey’s mega-bestselling Captain Underpants series. Now with super-cool foil covers! Shiny! Fun!

George and Harold have really done it this time…they’ve created a MONSTER! She’s faster, smarter, and more evil than anything the world has seen before–she’s Wedgie Woman! With the help of her horrible robots and her horrendous hairdo, Wedgie Woman is on a mission to take over the world, and she’ll give a whopping wedgie to anyone who stands in her way–including Captain Underpants. Will Wedgie Woman’s wicked ways spell the end for our heroes? You’ll have to read the book to find out. And in the meantime…watch your back!In the fifth “epic novel” about the extraordinary Captain Underpants–“faster than a speeding waistband… more powerful than boxer shorts”–the formidable superhero is under siege by a terrifying new enemy, the merciless bionic-powered Wedgie Woman. Will Captain Underpants overcome his fear of spray starch in time to save the world from the evil schemes of Wedgie Woman? No one knows… except maybe George and Harold, the imaginative fourth-grade troublemakers (imagination is not allowed at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School), who are also the creative minds behind Captain Underpants and Wedgie Woman. You see, it all started (as it usually does) with a comic strip drawn and illustrated by the boys. When their mean teacher Miss Ribble gets her hands on the comic book, their troubles really begin.

Fans who have been eagerly awaiting Book 5 in the series, preceded by such gems as Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space and Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, will heave a sigh of relief at the appearance of Pilkey’s latest tongue-in-cheek superhero adventure novel. Goofier than ever, with plenty of boyish drawings and juvenile humor, this lightweight chapter book is the answer to reluctant (and avid) readers’ dreams. If descriptions of Wedgie Woman’s bionic hair and the “ubrupt” ending of the “happyness” on the planet of Underpantyworld don’t turn grade-schoolers into bookworms, what will? By the way, don’t let the quotation from Einstein at the front of the book mislead you; this is lowbrow humor at its very finest. (Ages 8 to 12) –Emilie Coulter
