What would middle school be like if half your classmates had super powers? It's time for Penny Akk to find out. Her latest (failed) attempt to become a superhero has inspired the rest of the kids in her school to reveal their own powers.

Now, all of her relationships are changing. She has a not-at-all-secret admirer, who wants to be Penny's partner almost as much as she wants to be Penny's rival. The meanest girl in school has gained super powers and lost her mind. Can Penny help her find a better one? Can she help an aging supervillain connect with his daughter, and mend the broken hearts of two of the most powerful people in the world? And in all this, where will she find time for her own supervillainous fun, or even more dangerous, to start dating?

It's going to be a long, strange semester.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes, its a good book in a good series.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I am getting used to the narrator sounding slightly (3-5 years at least) to old for the 13 year old who is telling the story, but I still think it could have been just slightly better had she sounded younger, or older enough that how old the narrator sounded would not be part of the story.

Any additional comments?

I love how Penelope has matured since the last two books, making it seem as though the events in the past books has made a deep impact on her.

I am a fan of this series and look forward to more. This 3rd book however wasn't my favorite thus far. I struggled to get through the whole thing but did complete it so I'm caught up for the next book. I hate beating up on series that I like but I won't be doing anyone any favors by not being truthful. It's not a completely bad book and I think fans of the series will find value here but it just didn't do it for me. Sometimes I would find myself lost on who exactly certain people were and certain sections just didn't seem relevant or to really go anywhere important to the main story. Again, if your a fan then give it a shot, maybe you'll be more into than me. I'll pick up the next in series and continue on!

Great series, listen if your a fan.

I feel like this book was severely lacking in the plot department. I kept waiting for the plot to start and it never actually did.

Plot?

I liked it better than book two and a little less than one. If your a fan you'll like it.

Still fun but moving out of childhood

The continuing story of Penelope Ack and the inscrutable machine.

Good character development of the 3 main characters. The other side characters also get some time and training.

overall fun to hear or read.

voice actress seems to have fun with this volume like the others.

shows an odd mix of villainry and heros.

it's obserdly fun. not particularly real but enough you can enjoy.

i find that I greatpy enjoy the stories of this series and was glad our cast returns to their customary antics. I find it good to read a novel about supers that is not infected with the Hollywood need of making everything dark and gritty.

I would recommend this series and only caution that you remember this world is not ours and these are young teens. Realistic? Heck no, but Penny does strike a chord in me from when I was her age. Akward, intuitive and if I was as obtuse as she is at times I don't recall for I was living it, not reading . Enjoy!

Enjoyable and entertaining

The series is still keeping my attention. Well paced and kinda fun. Nothing special, just a good listen.

Good continuation

This is the story of Penny Ack trying to become the super hero instead of the super villain.

As you expect, this is not exactly what she wants to do, but she has to try because her parents are some of the most famous heroes.

Penny winds up starting a school club for super powered kids. With this comes the knowledge of what it really means to be a super powered hero or villain. The kids learn what it means to know someones true identity and what it means to keep the secret identity secret.

The narration is great, as it has been been with the previous books.

The story just lacked the hook the others had. I was not pulled into the story and kept on the edge always wondering what was going to happen next.

Lacking intensity of the series ...
