Leonard is no ordinary kid—he’s enrolled in Superhero School, where leaping tall buildings in a single bound is considered child’s play. If only division, fractions, and multiplication came as naturally, and weren’t so, well, ordinary. But when the kids’ math teacher, Mr. Tornado, and the rest of the staff get kidnapped by ice zombies, Leonard and his pals find themselves using every superhero trick in the book—not to mention a few unexpected math skills— to divide (and conquer!) the enemy.

On the day of the big game at Nuthatcher Farm, Rooster is sure that buffalo wings would be the perfect snack for the football-watching frenzy. But Rooster doesn’t quite follow the directions, and before you can say “touchdown!” he is heading west in search of a certain missing ingredient. Rooster’s quest is full of surprises, unexpected adventures, and of course, the perfect ending to his road-trip saga—the ultimate snack for his football fiesta.
    This mouthwatering follow-up to the read-aloud favorite Chicks and Salsa is told with flavor and flair by Aaron Reynolds, while Paulette Bogan’s scrumptious illustrations will make tummies of all ages grumble for more.
