Captain Awesome and Nacho Cheese Man must battle the evil forces of pink and love in this Valentine’s Day adventure.

It’s February in Sunnyview, and Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. When Captain Awesome and Nacho Cheese Man start to receive valentines in their cubbies, they know they must step up the watch for all things evil. But Captain Awesome gets distracted when Sally (aka Supersonic Sal) starts to receive valentines of her very own.

Why is Captain Awesome so worried about Supersonic Sal’s valentines? Could it be that he’s hoping for a special valentine of his own? And how will he ever make it through this evil pink holiday?!

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Captain Awesome chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

About the Author

Stan Kirby tied a beach towel around his neck and became Super Commander Beach Boy when he was six years old. When Stan’s not creating the awesome adventures of Captain Awesome, he loves reading comic books, eating okra, and hang gliding (but not at the same time).

George O’Connor is the creator of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series Olympians, in addition to serving as the illustrator of the Captain Awesome series. He is also the author and illustrator of the picture books Kapow!, Ker-splash, and If I Had a Triceratops. He resides in his secret Brooklyn, New York, hideout, where he uses his amazing artistic powers to strike fear in the hearts of bad guys everywhere!

Captain Awesome is a great series for emergent readers! They will laugh out loud at the captain's adventures and terrific illustrations which compliment the chapter book. I've had students who never show interest in reading beg for the titles in this series. Keep up the great work Captain!

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT BOOK FOR K-2!!!

My son is in first grade and is a very reluctant reader but he loves the story line in all of the Captain Awesome books. Stan Kirby is brilliant! He completely understands what it means to be a boy who is 5, 6, or 7. Mr. Kirby's humor is hysterically funny! I recommend this book series to everyone I know who has a child in the appropriate age category. I'm 45 years old and I like to see the story unfold!

We read this series to our 6 yr old grandson at bedtime. Usually have to finish in the morning. He knows all the characters and is excited to see what happens next. This was no exception. Lots of fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not appealing to a kindergartener reading on or over second grade level

I got this book for my grandson who will be six soon and who is entering kindergarten. He reads on at least a second grade level. However the book does not have colorful pictures, only drawings and he showed no interest in it at all. We will put it away until he is older. I really can't accurately rate the book for this reason but will just give it a three.

My 6 year old is obsessed with Captain Awesome. He even dressed as Captain Awesome for Halloween! He received this book for Christmas and was done with it in else's than a day. He sat down and read the whole thing in about 45 minutes. He only has two complaints about this book. 1. He wishes they were longer. 2. He wishes there were more books, or even a t.v. show. Happy he has found a positive kid character he feels he can relate to!
