Middle schooler, Steve L. McEvil is working toward becoming the world’s greatest supervillain. Supervillains run in his family, though it skipped his father. Steve L. is trying to balance being evil (think making it look like people farted) with impressing his classmate, Sierra. He has competition from good-guy classmate Vic Turry. The three are thrown into a science project together and must eventually save the universe.
Steve L. McEvil (ok, it rhymes) is well illustrated and the colorful graphics add to the storyline. Though I am not big into flatulence in books, it will appeal to the intended audience. Steve is a fun and conflicted character as he tries to be evil but sometimes does good. The adventure will continue, so hold on to your but and if you fart uncontrollably, it’s probably Steve L. McEvil’s fault.
