Melvin Beederman: Superhero

The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich by Greg Trine and Rhode Montijo.

At first I thought the author (The author writes the book, the author writes the book, Hi-Ho Librario, the author writes the book) had never been to Los Angeles, because the buildings aren't that tall, but that might just be my east coast elitism. Melvin Beederman is a superkid with more brains than superpowers. He can't always jump a tall building (even the ones in LA) in a single bound; it may take more. But unfortunately, he can always see everyone's underwear. And we all know how funny "underwear" is!
This first book in a series seems to be aimed at the Captain Underpants crowd. But there is a twist! There's a girl in it! What happens when Melvin graduates superhero school and goes to his first assignment (But I thought Los Angeles had a superhero!), only to lose his cape?
Rhode Montijo provides the amusing illustrations (The illlustrator draws-) of what is definitely a Melvin.
