Penelope Akk wants to be a superhero. She's got superhero parents. She's got the ultimate mad science power, filling her life with crazy gadgets that even she doesn't understand. She has two super-powered best friends. In middle school, the line between good and evil looks clear. In real life, nothing is that clear.

Criminal masterminds, heroes in power armor, bottles of dragon blood, alien war drones, shape-shifters, and ghosts-no matter what the super-powered world throws at her, Penny and her friends come out on top. They have to. If she can keep winning, maybe she can clear her name before her mom and dad find out.

From School Library Journal Gr 5–8—Ever since she could remember, Penny Akk has fantasized about following in the footsteps of her superhero parents (The Audit and Brainy Akk). Despite her parents' prediction that it could be years before her powers develop, Penny and her friends Claire and Ray soon find themselves superpowered—and supervillainous. Penny never meant to be a bad guy, but she turns out to be a most excellent mad scientist. Emily Woo Zeller voices Penny's maniacal, mad-scientist laughter; Claire's soft, cooing giggles; and Ray's deeper voice, while also capturing the essence of the "Inscrutable Machine" and a host of other monsters, shape-shifters, and ghosts. Her pacing, intonations, and expressions (one can actually "hear" her smile) are appropriate for the dozens of characters. This book is a creative superhero/villain novel featuring an abundance of characters, superpowers, plots, subplots, and action sequences. A few parts require extra suspension of belief (what teen would refer to a shirt as a "blouse" or exclaim, "By Tesla's Spontaneous Combustion!"?), but listeners may find it refreshing to listen to a squeaky-clean, minimally gory action novel. VERDICT This book will certainly appeal to young teens of all genders looking for an adventure beyond the pages of a comic book.—April Everett, Rowan Public Library, Salisbury, NC

88 of 92 people found the following review helpful. There's a new supervillain in town... By Abbey Spracklin Young children often want to be just like their parents, and teenagers want to be anything but. In between is the time when people first begin to branch out to forge their new identities; some achieve, some conform, and some rebel. Some rebel by accident.This is the case with young Penny Akk. Her parents - known to the adoring public and terrified villains as 'The Audit' and 'Brainy Akk' - are famed superheroes, and she wants nothing more than to be a hero like them. This is equal parts wanting to follow in their world-saving footsteps and wanting to get out from under their perpetual shadow, but when she gets her wish it doesn't go nearly how she expects. The sudden awakening of her powers as an incredible technologist able to intuitively build devices that bend the very laws of time and space would have been the best day of her life had it not quickly been followed by a series of unfortunate events that saw her and her two best-friends-slash-henchmen branded as villains instead. Soon the entirety of hero society is searching high and low for the new threat on the block, and the only thing more frightening than this is the delighted welcoming embrace of the villainous comnmunity... and how good that feels.It is difficult in the extreme for a young adult book to simultaneously present interesting characters and a fascinating plot, let alone one capable of appealing to older people as well, but in 'Supervillain' Richard Roberts has rung the cherries. Not only are Penny and her friends Claire and Ray more complex and realistic personalities than this genre usually plays host to, but even one-appearance background characters are given their own voices and goals in a way that presents a vibrant and weirdly realistic depiction of a city overrun with super-powered criminals and vigilantes - one noteworthy example is the brawny Juggernaut-like supervillain Bull, whose single brief appearance nonetheless leaves you sad for him and wanting to know how it works out.The only downside are that the book is a little bit long, and in a few brief places seems to drag. Strangely, these are in the action sequences: the characters and their interactions are so interesting that the few scenes of actual toe-to-toe action feel like distractions. Of course, they are also necessary: a superhero story without action would be like a spider without its web, or indeed a supervillain without their henchmen - incomplete.There is nothing incomplete about "Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain". It starts where it should, ends where it has to, and virtually everything in between is a delight. This will appeal to anyone with a sense of wonder and adventure, but it is especially recommended for girls who think one more pretty pink princess would be about ten too many. Penny Akk forges her own way, and brooks no opposition!And I for one welcome our new pre-adolescent overlord.

I am a total comic super hero geek, when I saw this book was about a 13 year old girl whose parents are super heroes, becoming a super villain with her two best friends, I thought the idea was great and the e-book price was inexpensive. I was currently going through P.S. Powers Infected series, which is a darker humanity hates super powered people type universe, and was ready for a break for something lighter to read for a bit. The moment I started reading Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Super Villain I was TOTALLY drawn into the story. It was pure unadulterated super hero / super villain delicious, wonderful, wacky, AWESOME fun. I'm not much of an artist but I want to draw the characters pretty bad, and to see this book in a graphic novel format someday. If you like superheros / villains, and young teens dealing with super powers and a whole world heroes and villains plus middle school and parents, this story will totally rock your boat and make you a total fan.I'm not going to go over what the story is about, the story blurb does that and lots of other reviews have hit the high points. I'm just saying this is a book every super hero / villain fan should check out. I can't gush about this book enough, and I am going to do a rare thing and re-read it immediately because I enjoyed it so much and I know reading it again will be great. I really wish I were a great artist because this is a book that really deserves loads of great fan art :DThis is a SUPER great read, and I am wanting a sequel very badly. Great story, great characters, descriptions are excellent, you can totally SEE this story in your mind. MORE please!
34 of 36 people found the following review helpful. Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain By Leeanna Chetsko Penny Akk can’t wait for her superpower to show up. With a super genius for a father and a mother who can make villains cry with logic, Penny knows she’s going to be a superhero. She’s just too impatient to wait for her power to come on its own, so she helps it along…...and ends up becoming a supervillain. Not on purpose -- Penny’s always dreamed of being a hero. But once she and her friends Claire and Ray are accidentally labeled supervillains, they decide to go with it. They can always change sides later, when the opportunity comes up, so why shouldn’t they have some fun first?“Fun” is the perfect word to describe PLEASE DON’T TELL MY PARENTS I’M A SUPER VILLAIN. Reading the book was like taking a romp through my fantasy of being a bad guy and being good at it. I had a really good time reading it, and enjoyed pretty much everything about it.There’s a lot of good stuff, including:♥The solid friendship between Penny, Claire, and Ray. Penny follows her friends into trouble, and sometimes they follow her. As the mad scientist, she’s their leader, but she doesn’t hold it over them.♥The relationship between Penny and her parents. Penny’s dad is a tad absentminded, but what else would you expect from a genius inventor? As retired superheroes, Penny’s parents are fully supportive of Penny getting her power, and they’re present but away just enough for Penny to have plenty of adventures.♥The creativity/hilarity. I think only a kid supervillain would think of creating a weapon out of candy. And only her sidekick would wear bear pajamas as part of her costume.♥Penny’s smart. I love a smart girl who’s into science and math, one who likes being a mad scientist. She fesses up when she makes mistakes, but is also a thirteen-year-old who keeps some secrets from her parents. I also liked The Machine, Penny’s first invention. For a mechanical gadget, it sure was cute.My only complaint with the book is that it is *long.* By the end of it, I felt as though I had read an entire trilogy instead of just one book. Now, that’s good in a way, because I got lots of detail about Penny’s power, her inventions, the other superheroes/supervillains, and everything did wrap up neatly. But I was wondering when the book would end. The chapters were long, which might have contributed to my feeling of the book being long.Otherwise, though, it’s FUN! In the laughter of Penny herself: AH HA HA HA HA!Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
