Booklist - 02/01/2026 *Starred Review* This second installment in the Terrible Trio series is a laugh-out-loud adventure proving that creativity, positivity, kindness, and friendship are the true superpowers. Marg, Zeb, and Barry are back, finding inventive ways to use their wacky superpowers. Marg has suddenly lost her ability to make mac ’n’ cheese, the café’s signature dish. What seems like a minor problem quickly escalates into a high-stakes mission when Zeb accidentally angers a lion and promises to serve mac ’n’ cheese to the entire pride—including 16 adults and 28 cubs. If he fails, the friends will all be eaten! Their quest to retrieve Marg’s power takes them up a mountain, to the cheese market, and to a lion- packed barbecue. The story is packed with humor, witty wordplay, and zany illustrations that bring the trio’s antics to life. Marg’s culinary crisis, Zeb’s lion dilemma, and Barry’s unpredictable lemur logic combine into a whirlwind of hilarious mishaps and creative problem-solving. Readers will delight in the clever puns, the unexpected adventures, and the endearing friendship among the characters. Perfect for early-chapter-book readers who enjoy silly humor, imaginative scenarios, and quirky illustrations, this is a fun, fast-paced read that leaves you eagerly anticipating the next wild adventure of Marg, Zeb, and Barry. - Copyright 2026 Booklist.
