Summary:
Jo Schmo and Raymond have to deal with two disasters within this short novel, she just hasn't figured that out yet. First, Dr. Dastardly and Numb Skull have catapulted themselves out of prison and plan to get revenge on Jo Schmo. At the same time, Pinkbeard and his pirates have time traveled into the future to chase women, drink grogg, and terrorize San Francisco. When Jo Schmo ruins the pirates fun and sends almost all of them to prison, Pinkbeard teams up with Dr. Dastardly and Numb Skull in a plot to bring down Jo Schmo. How will she defeat all three of them, especially since they know her weakness?
My thoughts:
I have read most of the Jo Schmo adventures. I enjoy them because they are cute superhero stories with a female protagonist. It's usually a good time with some silly language and moves. For instance, the big deal here is that you are what you drink. So, Pinkbeard loves Pink lemonade and has a Pinkbeard because of it. My biggest problem with this installment is that I didn't care for the pirates. I understand that pirates chase women, but I don't really want it within my children's stories. I just really didn't think that the pirates needed to be sexually represented. I was happier with the ideas of causing mischief.
