Some superpowers are better than none, but being able to disappear on a zebra crossing (when you’re a zebra), being able to make mac ‘n’
cheese from anything else, and having really nice handwriting, don’t really count for much.
When Barry the Lemur gets a chance for something more, he grabs at it. Barry and his friends Zeb the Zebra, and Marge the Penguin have been hanging out in Marge’s cafe. Business is slow lately so they have decided to pull out the lost property box.
Zeb is keen to have a dress up party and Marge wants to ‘borrow’ some items, but Barry is very strict that these ‘lost’ items belong to someone else. They are not to be messed around with. He decides to go through it and try and work out who they belong to. It’s not long before Barry discovers an item that looks and feels very interesting.
So interesting in fact, he can suddenly fly!
Finally having a decent superpower, Barry decides to make the most of it, along with his excellent handwriting. Soon everyone is wondering who is the Masked Crusader doing so much good around the town?
But the true owner of the cape isn’t far away. She has another superpower. Very strong butt kicking power! The terrible trio are very worried about their botties. Maybe they should just stick to what they know….?
The last in the Terrible Trio series from this fabulous Kiwi duo. Sure to make readers laugh out loud, the shenanigans of these three animals are priceless.
This time it’s Barry the Lemur’s time to shine and shine he does – but with a ‘borrowed’ piece of lost property. It was sure to go wrong.
The laughs come fast and furious, but it’s always the friendship that shines through in each conclusion of these black and white graphic novels.
Each character has their strange quirks and flaws, but their friendship always holds true, no matter what weird and wacky things they do.
A popular award winning series that is So Much Fun!
