Reading Level: 7-10
Genre: Comic Novel
Summary:
George and Harold like to play around and pull pranks on people and don't get caught. That is until one day the principal called them in to his office and showed them a video of them setting up their pranks for the previous football game. He blackmailed them with it, it would go to the football players unless they behaved and did manual labor for him. The two boys did this for a while, until they were fed up and bought a hypnosis ring. They hypnotized their principal into being Captain Underpants (the hero from their comics they made). Captain Underpants ran off to save the world. He stopped a robbery and stopped Dr Diaper from destroying the world. George and Harold got Captain Underpants to return to school, but couldn't get their principal back, so they splashed him with water (which made him switch between the two)
Recommendations and Conflicts:
I would recommend this book to the trouble makers. I see one problem in this book, the principal is wearing only his underwear. 
Reaction:
I thought this book was hilarious.  It was full of humor that parents might not be able to appreciate.
