How To Grow Up And Rule The World, By Vordak The Incomprehensible (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm going to guess this one (and the sequels) would be good for the 10-12 year range. This first book in the series is a seriously funny "how-to" guide whereupon our author, Vordak the Incomprehensible, teaches us how to become an evil villain and take over the world. Instructions include how to choose your very own evil name, how to outfit yourself accordingly, exercises to practice evilness, etc. Very funny. Humor is suitable for the age range above....any younger than that and much of this would fly right over their heads. Vordak the Incomprehensible has written a guide to ruling the world. Who better to write it than the villain with the biggest ego. Vordak will guide you through all aspects from choosing a villain name, costume and lair to information about superheroes and how to issue an ultimatum. He really wants you to succeed (So he can be the second in command and take your spot if something should happen to you.). You’ll be thankful he went through the trouble of torturing/interviewing seventeen illustrators before choosing John Martin. John’s drawings, which are plentiful, really help illustrate Vordak’s instructions and add to the humor. If you enjoy this book, and what person with a brain wouldn’t, look for How to Rule the School on library shelves now. Funny! I laughed out loud while reading How to Rule the World. Anyone who likes absurd humor will want to read this book, especially third and fourth grade boys. Plus there are plenty of drawings. Some take up almost an entire page! (Hint if you have a book report and the book has to be a certain number of pages.) I’ll be looking for How to Rule the School to find out what diabolical evil Vordak is planning now.
