The How to Be a Supervillain series by Michael Fry is a humorous middle grade trilogy that started in 2017. The books follow Victor Spoil, whose parents and grandparents are all accomplished supervillains. Victor, however, has no interest in world domination and secretly dreams of becoming a superhero.
The series plays with superhero and supervillain tropes in a way that appeals to younger readers. Victor’s struggle between family loyalty and his own sense of right and wrong gives the books heart underneath all the jokes. With three books published between 2017 and 2019, the trilogy is a quick and entertaining read for kids who enjoy stories about underdogs and misfits.
