Melvin Beederman is a super hero in eight books by Greg Trine and illustrated by Rhoda Montijo.
He was plucked from an orphanage and sent to the superhero academy. There he learns the code. Candace Brinkwater is his assistant. After a mix up at the dry cleaners when Candace got Melvin’s cape and Melvin got Candace’s cape, Milo the wonder tailor made it into two capes.
Melvin Beederman never gets off the ground in one try unless Candace Brinkwater is in trouble. Melvin Beederman has trouble stopping speeding locomotives too.
Hugo is Melvin’s pet. He loves pretzels and root beer just like Melvin Beederman.
At Pierpont Elementary School, we were supposed to make a turkey into something and I made mine into Melvin Beederman.
The real Greg Trine came to our school and talked about the books. These are titles of the books:
1) The Curse of the Boloney Sandwich.
2) The Revenge of the McNasty Brothers.
3) The Grateful Fred
4) Terror in Tights
5) The Fake Cape Caper
6) The Attack of the Valley Girls
7) The Brotherhood of the Traveling Underpants
8) Invasion from Planet Dork
Look for these books if you want. They’re really good books. Invasion from Planet Dork is already out but I don’t have it yet. I have all the books except for that one. For more information, go to the Melvin Beederman website at http://www.melvinbeederman.com You can also go to Greg Trine’s blog.
