ABOUT SUPER PANCAKE AND THE TERRIBLE TOAST
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a . . . pancake? Our favorite syrupy superhero returns in a new graphic novel to face Breakfast Town’s new supervillain and take down her terrible mind control machine . . . before it takes over the entire town!
When we last saw our hero, Peggy Pancake, she was learning to be more responsible by babysitting five mini muffins and rescuing Breakfast Town from a Mini Mega Laser of Doom disaster. Now, stranger things are happening . . . and Peggy is so busy trying to prevent Breakfast Town from becoming complete toast, she keeps missing important plans with her brother, Patrick! To try and mend their relationship, Peggy and Patrick’s parents sign them up to perform together at the school talent show. Little do they know the Bacon Bullies will be in the audience, and Peggy’s singing voice has been, well, more scrambled than it used to be.
As Peggy and her friends investigate the mysterious events around town, they find a familiar enemy working from a lair under the Syrup Sea . . . and she’s brewing up a plan to mind control EVERYONE in Breakfast Town! To defeat The Terrible Toast, Peggy and her friends must put together an epic heist and win their biggest food fight yet. Can Peggy get Patrick to forgive her? And how will she ever survive the school talent show? Find out in: SUPER PANCAKE AND THE TERRIBLE TOAST!
