Rule the School (Vordak the Incomprehensible Series)

by Vordak the Incomprehensible, Vordak the Incomprehensible (Illustrator)

Overview

"Greetings, goobers! After my latest experiment worked a little too well—transforming my rather fetching figure into something significantly smaller—I've been forced to return to those halls of horror better known as . . . school. But going back to junior high may be my greatest opportunity for mayhem in many a month! Try to keep up as I:



● Dramatically defeat the daily dangers of schooldom—even though everyone is against me.



● Strive to win the junior high presidential election by alerting my fellow students to the wonderfulness of Vordak the Incomprehensible, as well as the yuck-ness of my opponent, Marlena Lurchburger.



● Mastermind a catastrophic career day, where that disgusting do-gooder Commander Virtue will finally, fiendishly be foiled.



Fortunately for you, I have recorded every mischievous moment within these carefully crafted covers so that you may bask in my brilliance as I plot to RULE THE SCHOOL . . . and, eventually, THE WORLD! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!"

About the Author

Vordak the Incomprehensible is a world-class Supervillain and the Evil Master of all he surveys. His first book, Vordak the Incomprehensible: How to Grow Up and Rule the World has inspired a whole new generation of minions and fiends. He is at work on his next awe-inspiring project, the mere mention of which would cause your pea-sized brain to explode. His whereabouts are currently unknown (and no, they are not in his parents' basement in Trenton, New Jersey). You can visit Vordak online at www.vordak.com, and he will know if you don't, so beware.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 3–7—In this sequel to How to Grow Up and Rule the World (Egmont USA, 2010), Vordak imparts more wisdom. From beginning to end, the supervillian's condescending voice draws readers into his fantasy world, often speaking to them directly. They soon learn that the evildoer's interpretation of events may not be the same as everyone else's. Vordak introduces his arch enemy, Commander Virtue, who stands in his way of world domination, as well as his school nemesis, Marlena Lurchburger, Vordak's rival in the school election. Fans of Lincoln Peirce's "Big Nate" (HarperCollins) and Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" (Abrams) series will enjoy the combination of text and cartoon illustrations that explores the mind of the main character. Martin's black-and-white images help readers enter Vordak's world; those that expose the realities of the protagonist's grandiose plans are particularly humorous. This installment stands alone, but make sure kids haven't missed the first book.—Catherine Brenner, Bethlehem Public Library, Delmar, NY
