An amusing side-story/prequel to the 'Please Don't Tell My Parents I..." series.

Set a few decades before the PDTMP stories (but after 'Summer of Lob', printed in The Indomitable Ten anthology)

Altogether too brief.

A nice, fun romp through the world of 80s superheroes. Good for calming down my Please Don’t Tell My Parents I’ve Got a Nemesis feels. At last, I feel a little saner...

I absolutely loved all the books in the "Please don't tell my parents" series, and was happy to find a prequel to it. That being said, this one left me rather ho-hum. I don't know if it's because I listened to it rather than read it (though I have listened to all the other books), but I honestly didn't particularly care for the main character of Goodnight. For her age, she felt rather immature - almost TOO much like the character of Bad Penny in the other books.

What I did like was the origin stories of some of the secondary characters that are in the main series.

All in all, it was not a bad story. But I think when recommending the series, I would say either start with this book or skip it all together.

Amazing. If there was an option for six stars I would give it six. Everyone should have read this.

Oh my goodness. The amazing abuse of alliteration made this book an instant favorite.
