Gr 3–5—Irwin Snackcraker is your average fourth grader. He loves booger picking, greasy pizza squares, and ice cream. His love of ice cream changes his life when he finds the elusive last fudgesicle hiding behind the lame ice-cream sandwiches. One bite and he begins to tingle, his superpowers emerge, and he discovers new powers with each bite. Irwin also learns that his family has been fighting crime in his town for decades with the same abilities. This book is full of potty humor that reluctant readers will love. It is silly, and the frequent full-color cartoons add comedic value. Fans of Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" (Scholastic) will love this booger-and-flatulence-filled chapter book.—Kris Hickey, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
