Catch adventure while you can.

A group of kids, who have attempted to corral everything from the Tooth Fairy to Santa Claus in previous series installments, are watching a feature calledThe Invisible Bad Guy at a carnival. Suddenly, the titular villain tumbles from the screen and nabs the kids’ net. He’s convinced that with the aid of this “Supreme Catcher,” he’ll be unstoppable in his goal of world domination. He creates more mischief by using the net to make himself actually invisible before leading the kids on a merry chase. The youngsters remain in hot pursuit, keeping up the frenetic pace on the roller coaster, race cars, and other rides and amusements; even paint poured on the bad guy doesn’t slow him down one bit. But then, the kids ultimately triumph: Their quarry loses the Supreme Catcher and becomes visible again while conceding that the adventure was fun; the kids retrieve their net, and the bad guy returns to his movie. Just another day of chasing. The rhymes are often awkward, and the premise is a bit confusing—why exactly does the children’s net have the power of invisibility? Still, series devotees likely won’t question this plot point; they’ll enjoy the upbeat verse, the energetic digital illustrations, and the carnival setting. Characters are diverse.

High-spirited fun.(Picture book. 5-8)
