The Stupendous Switcharoo: Born to be Bad is a little weird, but overall, a good book. I recommend it. A good thing about this book is that if you haven’t read the first book, it tells you what is going on in a subtle way. It is about a boy who has superpowers and limits that change every day. Today his superpowers are not that great… Today he sweats tremendously when he gets nervous. He has been defined as a criminal by a powerful man, Vin Valor. Vin Valor has also put all the club kids’ parents in prison. Switcheroo and friends plan to get their parents out of the prison, but it will be very hard! In the end Switcharoo gets stuck in prison… This book shows a great example of friendship and teamwork. Overall, the book was inspiring and interesting.
