Donut has just received the best news of her life -- she's been accepted to Lionheart School for Heroes! But her parents are the most infamous villains around, and her best friend, Ivy, can't understand why Donut would choose a life of boring heroism and ruin their plans to cause chaos.

Meanwhile, Ivy cooks up a plan to get Donut kicked out of Lionheart -- and back on track to villainy!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a world in which everyone has a special power and must choose to walk the path of a villain or a hero, Donut's choice seems set in stone: her parents are infamous, and her family boasts a full-blown legacy as evil-doers. But super-strong Donut ("Middle name: the,/ Last name: Destroyer") has one goal in mind: to become a hero. Excited for her first day at the Lionheart School for Heroes, Donut is determined to immerse herself in training and become a super prefect. Her well-meaning parents prove skeptical but supportive ("We agreed we'd let Donut get this out of her system"), but longtime best friend Ivy, feeling abandoned and wanting Donut for her own chaotic plans, schemes to get her kicked out of hero school. Along with a chunky drawing style and pink-tinged palette, Purenins (Our Super Adventure) and Graley (Glitch) place their mutual penchant for antics (demonic rituals in the home) and absurd banter ("The living room has far superior energy than the basement... for wrangling up the undead") on full display. And their underlying message the importance of forging one's own path, for better or for worse is a heartwarming one. Final art not seen by PW. Ages 8 12.
