'memorable characters and plenty of plot twists to keep you engrossed'

Debbie Williams, The Primary Times in Hampshire

You know how it is when your dad's an evil super villain? OK, so maybe you don't, but Danny does. As heir to the Dread dynasty, he's expected to carry on the family business of kidnapping world leaders, maiming innocent bystanders, and brainwashing sharks. You know, general evil stuff. The problem is, achieving world domination isn't Danny's idea of fun. In fact, he'd much rather be saving the planet than enslaving it. But when Dad Dread hatches his most diabolical scheme yet, Danny realizes that to defeat evil, he's going to have to start thinking evil . . .

Danny was born to be bad but has an irresistible urge to do good. When his super villain dad decides to start World War III, he knows he has to do something. Just as long as no one finds out . . . Danny's life wouldn't be worth living back at Demento's Academy if they find out he did something idiotic like saving the world.
