Please Don't Tell My Parents I've Got Henchmen

Please Don't Tell My Parents Series, Book 3

By: Richard Roberts

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

What would middle school be like if half your classmates had super powers? It's time for Penny Akk to find out. Her latest (failed) attempt to become a superhero has inspired the rest of the kids in her school to reveal their own powers.

Now, all of her relationships are changing. She has a not-at-all-secret admirer, who wants to be Penny's partner almost as much as she wants to be Penny's rival. The meanest girl in school has gained super powers and lost her mind. Can Penny help her find a better one? Can she help an aging supervillain connect with his daughter, and mend the broken hearts of two of the most powerful people in the world? And in all this, where will she find time for her own supervillainous fun, or even more dangerous, to start dating?

It's going to be a long, strange semester.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes, its a good book in a good series.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I am getting used to the narrator sounding slightly (3-5 years at least) to old for the 13 year old who is telling the story, but I still think it could have been just slightly better had she sounded younger, or older enough that how old the narrator sounded would not be part of the story.

Any additional comments?

I love how Penelope has matured since the last two books, making it seem as though the events in the past books has made a deep impact on her.

squeee

I love this series!!! it documents a teenage girl's journey into super heroism/vilany. the writer's whit is complimented perfectly by the narrator. Ha! Hahahaha!
a must read teenage fiction that songs to all ages.

Is it funny and good?

Yes, very funny, nice and sweet to listen to on the road and night for a long time.

Great series, listen if your a fan.

I am a fan of this series and look forward to more. This 3rd book however wasn't my favorite thus far. I struggled to get through the whole thing but did complete it so I'm caught up for the next book. I hate beating up on series that I like but I won't be doing anyone any favors by not being truthful. It's not a completely bad book and I think fans of the series will find value here but it just didn't do it for me. Sometimes I would find myself lost on who exactly certain people were and certain sections just didn't seem relevant or to really go anywhere important to the main story. Again, if your a fan then give it a shot, maybe you'll be more into than me. I'll pick up the next in series and continue on!

Plot?

I feel like this book was severely lacking in the plot department. I kept waiting for the plot to start and it never actually did.
