Vordak wants to help you learn to be evil and take over the world. He covers everything from assessing your evil aptitude to your evil laugh, choosing an evil name, costuming, and your evil lair.
Review
Funny, sassy and sarcastic. Reminds me of Captain Underpants in that on one hand it's funny and will appeal to kids, especially boys. On the other hand, though, the responsible, grown-up, parent part of me knows it's not really appropriate (insulting, sarcastic, etc.)
4 out of 5 stars (with cautions)
AR level of 7.7
Recommended for: The book itself says 9 and up, but I would go more for 11 or 12 and up. Pre-teens who get a kick out of Phineas and Ferb's Dr. Doofenshmirtz might enjoy Vordak, although Vordak is a little darker than Dr. D.
Cautions: Kids reading this should have a good grasp of the difference between fantasy and reality and understand the facetious tone of this book. Very sarcastic, insulting, demeaning tone from Vordak.
