Pizazz vs Perfecto: The Times Best Children's Books for Summer 2021 (Paperback) - Sophy Henn

Introducing Pizazz, a reluctant 91/2-year-old girl-superhero! A funny, illustrated series with black-and-white illustrations and comic-strip elements. This book is the third book in the PIZAZZ series.

The third book in a SUPER (like, actually, with powers and stuff) new series for readers aged 7+ - from the amazingly talented illustrator and author Sophy Henn! Brimming with Sophy's hilarious illustrations and comic strips, this is the perfect read for fans of Dork Diaries, Tom Gates, Amelia Fang, Wimpy Kid and Dog Man.

"A SPECTACULAR superhero story that fizzes with fun on every page!" - Liz Pichon, author of the bestselling TOM GATES series.

HELLO! My name is PIZAZZ and I'm a superhero . . . You probably think that's really AWESOME, and while it can be, it's also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying.

Even though I'm saving the world ALL THE TIME, there are still LOADS of bad guys about.

Like super baddie PERFECTO! She's younger than me, and just . . . well, PERFECT! But I have a plan. Maybe I just need to be perfect too - even moreperfect than Perfecto. Easy-peasy, right?!

Hilariously narrated by reluctant superhero Pizazz, and brimming with Sophy's distinctive illustrations and comic-book strips, this is the third book in the laugh-out-loud PIZAZZ series.
