HEROES A2Z #14
NURSERY RHYME CRIME
Mother Goose is on the loose!

Abigail, Andrew, and Baby Zoë's favorite author will be appearing at the library. She's Mother Goose, of course, and the superheroes learned to read using her books. Zoë still reads them. Yet when Mother Goose reads to the library's patrons from her newest book, everyone falls asleep. They awaken on a bus many miles away. Where has Mother Goose sent them and why? It becomes obvious when many nursery rhyme characters appear in real life. They've escaped from the goose's books! Humpty Dumpty rules up on the wall. Little Bo Peep is ready to brawl. To set things right, the heroes will have to confront the most dangerous nursery rhyme character of all.

The 14-book Heroes A2Z chapter book series follows the funny adventures of three superhero kids from Traverse City, Michigan. Each illustrated book includes over one hundred drawings and is perfect for all elementary school students, grades K-6. The books also make great read-alouds.

Meet Abigail, the oldest of the heroes. When it comes to sports, she can't be beat--not at arm wrestling, not at archery, and certainly not at aces on the tennis court. Andrew comes next. He's Abigail's twin, youngest by a measly eight minutes. If it has wheels, Andrew can ride it. He's amazing, astounding, and accomplished on wheels. Last but definitely least is Baby Zoë. She's the strongest of the heroes, like Superman in a diaper. She can't walk that well, but she can fly and shoot lasers out of her eyes. Zoë puts the "aww" in awesome.

Throughout their adventures, the superheroes battle kung fu kitties, dinosaurs, aliens, monkey-driven monster trucks, and a rockstar from outer space. They travel to the South Pole, the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, and to scenic Mackinac Island. Wherever danger lurks, wherever villains strike, expect Heroes A2Z to save the day!
