Description

Lola is a girl like any other, except for one tiny detail: her father, Robert Darkhair, is James Blond, a top-secret agent so secretive, that not even he knows what he does, or at least that is what Blond wants us to believe. When the villains of Friendly Falls kidnap Lolas parents, she becomes Super-Lola. Accompanied by her toy dinosaur Super-James (in undies) who can grow to the size of an actual dinosaur (thus stretching the undies), their cat Hot Dog, a pencil, an eraser, and an infallible duckie pool toy, she is off to the rescue. Ah, imagination. It is our most powerful weapon.

Reviews

"Lola dons a cape and mask (the former cut from her bedroom curtains), and hares off on a series of joyfully chaotic adventures.....Theres pleasurably messy, madcap humor." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Children who recruit anyone and anything nearby to set the stage for their imaginative play will have no trouble keeping up with Lola." * School Library Journal *
"Throughout Beigels plot-driven story, Lola remains a charming and earnest protagonist, one whom readers can root for." * Publishers Weekly *
