Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain

Please Don't Tell My Parents Series #1

By: Richard Roberts

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

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 superpowered best friends. In middle school the line between good and evil looks clear. In real life nothing is that clear. All it takes is one hero's sidekick picking a fight, and Penny and her friends are labeled supervillains. In the process Penny learns a hard lesson about villainy: She's good at it.

Criminal masterminds, heroes in power armor, bottles of dragon blood, alien war drones, shape-shifters, and ghosts - no matter what the superpowered 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.

The story wassssssssssssss very Interesting it had some bumps slang the way but they got three them.🔮

Humorous and enjoyable!

I really liked this one, and am looking forward to the next book in the series! Well written and well read.

Ridiculously Enjoyable!

I honestly just purchased this book because it was on sale and I thought it might be mildly entertaining, but I loved it. It is still a kids book, and not exactly high-quality literature, but I found it engrossingly entertaining. It really scratched that itch of mine that wants to take over the world but doesn't want to hurt anyone. The inventions are so ridiculous and fun, and the narrator does such an excellent job of expressing the protagonist's squee that I couldn't help but laugh out loud, many times. The story also mostly managed to keep me from predicting its twists, though I think a lot of that was that the world allows for such ridiculous yet not quite unbelievable non-sequitors. As for morality, the story does romanticize supervillany a bit, but it doesn't romanticize evil itself. It is mostly a matter of bending the rules, and unfortunate circumstance; even most of the true villains try to avoid hurting civilians. It also could provide a good object lesson for the advantages of telling the truth early as compared to the consequences of digging yourself deeper into a lie, but you'd probably have to actually point that out to a child.

Unputdownable from chapter 1

My new favorite series, can't wait to read the next one! Excellent storyline and narration.

a fun romp

a fun story told in an engaging way. wonderful narration with clear differentiation between characters without being cheesy.

Awesome book

I have listened to this book 5 time and I am still not tired of it.

Whimsical and fun

overall it's a good book there are some parts that make me turn my head as a parent but at the same time it's got good humor and the semi action-based story

loved it

goofy, zany, funny. loved the whole book and idea behind it. altho, i really do feel so sorry for penny. i wish i could go into details but anything i say will spoil some part and this book is too good to do that to. you'll either have to listen to it or go get a hard copy to read. i hope and pray the author doesn't stop with just this book in this series.

lots of plot twists i really love it

pretty good story i was skeptical about the title and give it a chance and it was really worth it. i hope the audible release the 2 other volumes of this saga. also i want to add the reader did an awesome job redacting the story the way she reads it immersed me into the plot. i got a give it to her the bad penny laugh she makes is pretty cool. a true supervillain

Absolutely fantastic!

Definitely read this and give it a shot. I got this series for my dad and stepmom as well and they love it. No matter how old or young you are just listen to it and find out for yourself.
