This has to be my favorite Super Turbo book yet. My boys loved it as well. A great book to read at bed time.

This one might be my favorite that we've read yet. Automatic pencil sharpeners are being installed in all the classrooms and it's CLEARLY a nefarious plot to take control of the school.
I loved how the Superpets imaginations ran away with them. This book was great and I think a good introduction into why jumping to conclusions about things isn't always a great idea. As always, it was charming and I loved reading it to my little bed time champs.

An electric pencil sharpener has been attached to the top of Turbo's abode, and thus begins the mystery and challenge with the help of the Superpet Superhero League to find out the culprits behind that, and the missing snacks in the cafeteria pantry.

I read this with my kids...not one of us liked it! We were very hopeful that it would be funny and interesting, but it was neither. :-(

Kirby, Lee Super Turbo vs. the Pencil Pointer. 128 pages. CHAPTER BOOK. Little Simon (Simon & Schuster), 2017. $5.99. Content: Language: G (0 swears) Mature Content: G Violence: G.
Super Turbo is the pet hamster in Classroom C, at Sunnyvale Elementary. In this book, Turbo teams up with the other members of the Super Pet Superhero League to take on the Pencil Pointer. It’s big, loud and will soon bury them all in pencil shavings. But all the kids love it and it makes their pencils really pointy. So who will win this battle?
This is the third book in the Super Turbo series. For those familiar with the Captain Awesome book series, Turbo is Eugene’s sidekick, who now stars in his own series. This book has short chapters and lots of illustrations, including comic panels, which will appeal to its targeted audience of 5-9 year-olds. I personally was never a fan of this series. In my opinion, the story lines are pretty weak. While my nine-year-old son really enjoyed the first two books in the series, he thought this one was just okay.
