A SUPER funny, SUPER fast-paced, SUPER debut!

Can knowing the most superhero trivia in the whole school be considered a superpower?

If so, Vincent Wu is invincible.

If not (and let’s face it, it’s “not”), then Vincent and his pals Max and George don’t get any props for being the leaders (and, well, sole members) of the (unofficial) Captain Stupendous Fan Club.

But what happens...more

As a huge fan of superhero stories, I could not resist Mike Jung's debut novel, Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities. Yet again, my instincts for middle grade novels have served me well, because Jung's novel is every bit as stupendous as its main superhero.

Yet again, my instincts for middle grade novels have served me well, because Jung's novel is every bit as stupendous as its main superhero.

Packed with superhero stunts and villainous mayhem, Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities will surely delight any and all superhero fans. The tone matches up well with the movie The Incredibles, fun, action-packed, focused on family, and with a little bit of romance on the side. For older readers, Jung throws in cute references to classics of the superhero genre. For example, I noticed a street named after Brian Michael Bendis.

Vincent Wu and his friends run their own (unofficial) fan club for the city's famed superhero Captain Stupendous. Vincent, Max and George are not remotely popular, but they have each other and can comfort themselves in the awareness of their superior knowledge of Stupendous' exploits. Their lives get changed for the more exciting when they learn the secret identity of Captain Stupendous...and he's not anyone they ever would have expected.

Vincent, Max, and George make such a convincing group of nerdy friends. They squabble, have their own sets of inside jokes, tease each other mercilessly, and, most importantly, have each others' backs when need arises. The inclusion of Polly is my favorite part, because she shows them how powerful girls can be, even though they have trouble believing that at first. Polly totally rocks, and I love the wonderful message that Jung sends about strength through her character.

Vincent's parents are largely absent during the book, divorced and both busy with their jobs, father as a genius inventor and mother as school superintendent. However, despite their lack of physical presence, there is no doubt of how much they care for their son. They call him and check on him, and do their best to protect him. Perhaps most touching is his relationship with his mother's boyfriend, Detective Carpenter. He treats Vincent with respect and honors his opinions in a way Vincent hasn't ever really felt from adults, which helps him open up in this new set of challenges.

Serious messages aside, this book is almost entirely hilarious. There's the awkwardness of first crushes, the superhero/villain banter, and plenty of gross scenes, including one rather spectacular one involving a lot of vomit. Young readers will no doubt love all of these things. To top it all off, there's a scary robot and a bunch of epic battles. What more could you ask for?

The supervillain plot follows well-tread lines, and will not be shocking to older readers. Really, though, the focus is not on the supervillain, so much on heroism and how size doesn't really matter when it comes to defeating the bad guy. Though a bit anticlimactic, the showdown with the villain is hilarious and fitting. Just know that this isn't one of those stories that ends with the defeat of the villain.

I highly recommend Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities for anyone who enjoys superhero tales, young and old alike. The book reads quickly, and comes with a bunch of perfectly-matched illustrations by Mike Maihack.(less)

Mike Jung’s middle grade debut, Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities is a nearly perfect title for middle school boys and girls. Told in a voicey, easy-going style, it’s the story of Vincent Wu, middle school student, child of divorce, and Captain Stupendous devotee.

Told in a voicey, easy-going style, it’s the story of Vincent Wu, middle school student, child of divorce, and Captain Stupendous devotee. In Copperplate City, he and his friends George and Max obsess over the caped superhero with all the fervor and obsession of your average thirteen-year-old nerd (I know because I was one)–the only difference being that in Vincent’s world, the superheroes are real.

But then Vincent is thrown for a loop: the previous Captain Stupendous has died, and Vincent’s crush Polly Winnicott-Lee has taken on Captain Stupendous’s mantle. This provides a fresh twist to what seem slated to be a boy-oriented story. Polly is well-drawn, complex, and scrappy, and Vincent’s growing affection for her is very sweet. The other boys are well-rendered too, particularly big lug Max, who likes to pepper his speech with Yiddish.

It’s in Jung’s tackling of issues of racial and ethnic identity that I was most impressed. Vincent and Polly aren’t characters who happen to be Asian–their Asian-American identities define them as people and yet never make them stereotypes. Likewise easy is the matter-of-fact insertion of Jewish identity. It’s not a whitebread universe, but one as dappled and complicated as our own. Jung also does a solid job of rendering both of Vincent’s divorced parents and his complex relationship to each.

I was less impressed with the handling of gender issues–in fact, Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities left me quite torn on that front. Polly is an awesome girl, navigating her feminine identity with the sophistication and aplomb that the boys lack. But she is also–aside from Vincent’s mother, who takes on a typical victim-of-the-supervillain role–the only girl present with a well-developed personality. It’s not unusual to have only one chick in this kind of novel, but Polly is consistently defined by her lack-of-girlyness and, since there are no other girls present, it’s difficult not to read a larger thesis into the novel that is disdainful of girly things. Vincent tells us of a competing Captain Stupendous fangroup, the Stupendites, in the novel's opening paragraph–this all-girl group consists of pretty, image-conscious, stupid cheerleaders who are also classic mean girls. Later, Vincent observes with relief that Polly’s bedroom is not pink or so “full of foofy ruffled blankets and rhinestones that you want to scream” (186, ARC edition). Polly protests some of Vincent’s more egregious sexist assumptions, but the overall impression is that girls are unlikely to be heroic if they like pink or looking pretty. I hope Jung challenges these outmoded assumptions in subsequent volumes by expanding the cast of female characters or giving more depth to the Stupendites.

Because otherwise, this is a pitch-perfect middle grade title, and one that I’d easily recommend to both boys and girls.(less)

Vincent Wu is one of three members of the Captain Stupendous Fan Club-- not the "official" one, but the one he and his friends Max and George think is most important. Because of Captain Stupendous, Copperplate City has been a relatively safe place, but Professor Mayhem is on the loose with a giant robot. Captain Stupendous doesn't seem to be on his game in working against this threat of evil, and Vincent soon finds out why-- the first Captain has been replaced by a girl from his school and the o...more

Being the only girl in my family, I'm very familiar with comic books. My brother particularly love them, so I find myself highly amused with all his comic book tie ins (like the school names, Xavier, and such). Aside from that, the voice, the plot, the funniest of it all pulled me in...more

It may not be the Official fan club - in fact, it may be the smallest fan club in history - but NOBODY knows more about the world's active superheroes and supervillains than Vincent, George, and Max. Like every kid in Copperplate City they show up every time they get a Stupendous Alert on their phones, hoping to see Stupendous take down a hostile space alien or giant radioactive spider. But Captain Stupendous has been acting strange lately, ever since he rescued Polly Winnicott-Lee (whom Vincent totally does NOT have a crush on, maybe) and failed to take down the giant robot creation of a brand new supervillian named Professor Mayhem. Can Vincent and his friends help Stupendous get his mojo back? And what does Polly have to do with all this? Find out in this high-powered adventure of friendship and kicking butt.

I didn't have super high expectations for this book, but I really liked it! It has a lot of initial appeal for boys - guy friends, humor, superheroes, giant robots - but (tiny spoiler) also a kick-butt girl and some well-rounded and interesting adults. The story deals with superheroes, obviously, but also with real questions of friendship and loyalty, competition, romantic crushes, divorced-and-dating-again parents, civic duty and responsibility, and proving oneself as a kid in an adult world. I expected this book to be very plot-driven, and it is, but I also really connected with the characters and some of the sensory descriptions were a pleasant surprise.

This book is probably best suited for fourth to sixth graders. There is a lot of boy appeal here but also a strong female character that girls can admire and relate to. Two good readalikes would be The Fourth Stall for its similar adventure, humor, and look at male friendships, and The Strange Case of Origami Yoda for its portrayal of young romance and male friendships as well. If fans of those or similar books are looking for or required to read science fiction, I would definitely hand them this book.(less)

Vincent Wu is quite possibly the world’s biggest fan of Captain Stupendous. He knows everything there is to know about Captain Stupendous. So when Captain Stupendous gets hurts and requires Vincent’s knowledge to save the day, what could be better?

This is a cute story with a creative twist on the superheroes-in-children’s-books angle. The book might as well have a subtitle: “I’m meant for reluctant readers!” (so much so that I think children of the bookworm variety may be put off by the novel)....more

Sure everyone in the city loves their caped crusader and there's four separate fan clubs devoted to him, but the one that Vincent is president of is the only one that's the real deal-even if it only has three members. Still, Vincent takes his responsibilities seriously--he writes about Captain Stupendous for every school report, he knows all his moves, and he watches and re-watches footage of his fights. But when he finally meets Captain Stupendous he's nothing like Vincent imagined him. On the outside he's big, strong, and super fast but on the inside he's...a girl? Something's gone terribly wrong and Captain Stupendous's stupendous powers have been passed on to a surly girl who doesn't even want to be a superhero. Will Vincent and his friends be able to change her mind and whip her into shape or will Professor Mayhem take over the town?

I love that the superman-esque hero of the story ends up being a sassy teenage girl who isn't thrilled about suddenly changing form into a burly man. Just because she doesn't want to be a superhero doesn't mean that she can't kick butt though. And she will kick Vincent's and his friends' butts if they don't watch what they say. The awkward tensions that ensue among them are comedy gold and while Jung is clearly a fan of the superhero comic genre he isn't afraid to make fun of it either. I enjoyed watching him play with superhero cliches and turn them on their heads. I also appreciated that while there was a mad scientist there were good scientists as well. In fact they use science to fight him and without their knowledge and quick-thinking Captain Stupendous would never be able to fight Mayhem. I enjoyed the romantic subplot as well and the unconventional path it takes.

The plot is riddled with holes that nagged at me, but I was enjoying myself so much I was mostly able to ignore them. I would have also preferred it if a bit more time was spent on character development. Hopefully we'll find out more about them in the next novel.

I'd give this to anyone 3rd grade and up looking for a humorous story. Fans of superhero comics will enjoy the novel in particular. The fast pacing and ample pictures make it great for those just starting to read full chapter books. I'd also give it to anyone interested in stories that play with gender stereotypes and strong female leads.

I had a hard time getting through this one. It was supposed to be a humerus fantasy about a town that had their own superhero and several fan clubs. But when the superhero's secret identity has a heart attack, he passes on his powers to a student who doesn't know anything about superheroes and has to learn from some of the fans in secret. So it was a little hard to accept and the humor was pretty weak. This will be a no vote for me.
