The third book in a SUPER (like, actually, with powers and stuff) new series for readers aged 7+ – from the amazingly talented illustrator and author Sophy Henn! Brimming with Sophy’s hilarious illustrations and comic strips, this is the perfect read for fans of Dork Diaries, Tom Gates, Amelia Fang, Wimpy Kid and Dog Man.
“A SPECTACULAR superhero story that fizzes with fun on every page!” – Liz Pichon, author of the bestselling TOM GATES series. HELLO! My name is PIZAZZ and I’m a superhero . . . You probably think that’s really AWESOME, and while it can be, it’s also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying. Even though I’m saving the world ALL THE TIME, there are still LOADS of bad guys about. Like super baddie PERFECTO! She’s younger than me, and just . . . well, PERFECT! But I have a plan. Maybe I just need to be perfect too – even moreperfect than Perfecto. Easy-peasy, right?!Hilariously narrated by reluctant superhero Pizazz, and brimming with Sophy’s distinctive illustrations and comic-book strips, this is the third book in the laugh-out-loud PIZAZZ series.

Reviews
Pizazz is my favourite character because she ended up making friends with Perfecto. The book was perfect! I would rate it 10 million! It was as good as vanilla cake! I like that her dog Wanda licks her face to tell her she has got a super hero mission

This book is very intriguing. It is about someone called pizazz (who is a superhero) wanting to beat perfecto -who is a super villain- but she cant. So pizazz try’s to be perfect like perfecto, and try’s to beat perfecto.I really like this book because it is very interesting and I always want to know what happens next.

it was amazing how at the end perfecto realized that you should just be yourself to be perfect and had fun just playing with her friends and forgot about her plan to beat perfecto and win and decided to just be herself.
Professor Iggy Fascination 13.07.2023
I am still perfect (unlike Pizazz)
Superintendent Mistral Moonlight 08.07.2023
The third book in the Pizazz series. Pizazz has finally turned 9 1/2 so she gets to fight a villain on her own. But this villain is perfect at everything. Can Pizazz beat Perfecto?

I loved that even though Pizazz kept on getting defeated she kept on trying! I also liked the name of the band that Pizazz and her friends made.
