A review by theartolater
Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot (Captain Underpants #12), Volume 12 by Dav Pilkey

3.0

I've been a strong booster of Captain Underpants for as long as I've been aware of the character and his series. This book (which might be the last traditional one), flops in a few ways, both with the kind of ham-fisted messaging in the beginning and the loss of a lot of what makes it great throughout. It almost feels like it's trying to be more like the end books in the Origami Yoda series but, seeing as it's not quite the same style, it just doesn't pan out.

Meanwhile, all the complaints you hear about it are about the most innocuous, well-placed story twist in the series, and not the other stuff. Just kind of strange.

Kids might miss a lot of what I saw. That's fine. Just not the greatest entry in one of my favorite series.
