George and Harold link up in kindergarten to reduce a quartet of vicious bullies to giggling insanity with a relentless series of pranks involving shaving cream, spiders, effeminate spoof text messages and friendship bracelets. Cut to five years previous, in a prequel to the whole series.
The villain sets off after George and Harold, who are in juvie (“not much different from our old school…except that they have library books here.”). There, he witnesses fellow inmate Tippy Tinkletrousers (aka Professor Poopypants) escape in a giant Robo-Suit (later reduced to time-traveling trousers). To start, in an alternate ending to the previous episode, Principal Krupp ends up in prison (“…a lot like being a student at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, except that the prison had better funding”). Not that there aren’t pranks and envelope-pushing quips aplenty. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment. Filomena is described as ethnically ambiguous with curly dark hair, brown eyes, and brown skin she was adopted by a Korean/Filipino father and British mother.Ī refreshing twist on well-known fairy tales. Though the villains are a bit one-dimensional, Filomena’s character growth in combination with the highly entertaining delivery of her story will have readers eagerly awaiting the sequel. Filomena forges new friendships, confronts her bullies, and learns the truth about where she came from and who she really is. Equal parts whimsical and adventure-packed, Filomena’s journey will entrance readers and have them rooting for the young, witty heroine. With her intimate knowledge of the books, Filomena travels to Never After in hopes of helping to defeat an evil queen.
Her life takes a turn for the fantastical when she meets Jack the Giant Stalker from her beloved Never After series what Filomena thought were just stories turn out to be real.
While Filomena is just your average sixth grader who loves fairy tales-albeit one taking eighth grade algebra-unfortunately, she is also the victim of school bullying.
She is the beloved daughter of two neurotic writers who take overprotectiveness to a new level. Twelve-year-old Filomena Jefferson-Cho finds herself inside the magical world of her favorite fantasy series.įilomena lives in North Pasadena, California, with her mother, father, and their family pets.
