    About this ebook

    When LarryBoy and his superhero buddies are invited to Superhero Island, they are in for a surprise of volcanic proportions. Trouble erupts when LarryBoy discovers he’s a second-class citizen, because he doesn’t have “super” powers like his buddies.
    Bumblyburg’s newest supervillain, Chili Pepper and his henchman Coconut, are cooking up a plot for disaster to destroy all superheroes. Will Larryboy help after his vacation is ruined and his friends treat him poorly? Kids will enjoy the adventure of finding out as Larryboy tumbles into a secret hideaway and uncovers Chili Pepper’s tourist trap. But is it too late when the volcano explodes?
    Will LarryBoy save himself or will he save the day before the island is covered in hot, molten chili? How will Larryboy learn that everyone is important in God’s eyes, even after being excluded from his friends?

      LarryBoy, Versus the Volcano - Doug Peterson

      CHAPTER 1

      A ROCKY BEGINNING

      Larry the Cucumber couldn’t believe it was happening. He was actually having a picnic with Vicki Cucumber, the only girl to ever make his heart skip a beat. For a mild-mannered janitor like Larry, the day was postcard picture-perfect.

      Larry and Vicki were on the grassy side of Bumbly Mountain, which offered a great view of Bumblyburg. There was only one glitch. Larry couldn’t come up with a thing to talk about.

      Um … did you know that a cockroach can live for several weeks without its head? asked Larry. He was reading from his list of Conversation Topics, prepared especially for times like this.

      Uh … no, I didn’t, Vicki answered.

      Larry smiled and looked around nervously. Then he snuck another peek at his Conversation Topics. Did you know that houseflies like to—?

      Maybe we should eat, Vicki suggested, quickly changing the subject.

      Good idea, agreed Larry, opening the picnic basket. He pulled out a chicken drumstick. I made the chicken myself. It’s an old family recipe that—

      AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Vicki suddenly screamed out of the blue.

      Larry looked down at his chicken. It doesn’t taste that bad. You should just try it—

      It’s not the food! Vicki yelled. "It’s that!"

      Larry looked up the hill. A giant boulder had cracked loose from the side of the mountain and was heading right toward them.

      With swift, cucumber reflexes, Larry shoved Vicki out of the way. But he didn’t have time to save himself. The rock was upon him!

      Larry! shouted Vicki, closing her eyes. She couldn’t look as Larry the Cucumber was about to become squash.

      Larry flipped forward on top of the rock as it raced downhill. But his troubles were just beginning. Trying to stay on top of a rolling stone was like running on a very dangerous treadmill. Larry rode the boulder as it barreled down the mountain at breakneck speed—emphasis on breaking necks.

      The boulder was headed straight for Bumbly Park, which was packed with Veggies attending the annual Taste of Bumblyburg Celebration. The crowd was an easy target for an out-of-control boulder.

      When the rock came upon a small ledge, it went flying, flipping Larry high into the air. The rock crashed back down onto the ground with a THUD that shook the mountain like a dinosaur’s step.

      Larry also hit the ground with an OOF! and began to roll downhill, out of control. He somersaulted down the side of the mountain, over and over and over.

      Kind of like a boulder, come to think of it.

      The chase was on.

      CHAPTER 2

      BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

      Screaming Veggies scattered like ants as the big boulder smashed its way through Bumbly Park. The boulder pulverized a taco stand, flattened a hot dog cart, and headed straight for a group of innocent and unsuspecting Cub Sprouts!

      Fortunately, Larry had recently taken a special training course on how to switch into his superhero costume while swimming, skydiving, playing hopscotch, and … amazingly … while rolling down a hill totally out of control. By the time Larry the Janitor had rolled through the crowd in Bumbly Park, he had changed into Bumblyburg’s most famous, most purplish hero of all time … LARRYBOY!

      I AM THAT HERO! he shouted, firing one of his supersuction ears.

      THONK!

      The plunger hit the boulder and held fast. Larryboy was sure
