Three reasons to read it:
- Toxic Takeover delivers more of everything that made the first S.U.P. graphic novel such a hit. Mike Hartigan doubles down on the chaos with vengeful vegetables, a shapeshifting dragon and an invading alien, all while keeping the same warm, funny heart that made the original such an easy sell to reluctant readers. Fans of the debut will find this instalment ramps up both the jokes and the stakes.
- Leona Linus is one of the great kid-friendly villains, and her ambitions here are gloriously over the top. Her single-minded quest to be crowned Evil Tween Scientist of the Year gives this sequel a clear, funny throughline, and the fact that S.U.P. has to team up with unexpected allies to stop her adds a fresh dynamic to the usual hero-versus-villain formula.
- The full colour graphic novel format makes this a brilliant pick for reluctant and visual readers. Bursting, expressive comic art paired with fast-paced, punchy storytelling means kids who find prose-heavy books daunting get swept up in the action from the first page — and with praise from Dan & Jason (creators of Barb the Brave and Blue, Barry & Pancakes), this is a series already winning over kids and creators alike.
