Hi! Name's Christolpherson Rederson—but you can call me PB&J. I'm a fifth grader with the world's lamest superpower: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches fly out of my hands. Embarrassing? Totally. Useless? That's what the evil Dr. Vile thought too—right up until this so-called lame power saved the whole town.
Every hero needs a team. Mine includes my best friend, my former arch-nemesis, and one extremely lucky cat.
PB&J
The hero (Christolpherson Rederson)
Fifth grader. Superpower: sandwiches fly out of his hands whether he wants them to or not. Weakness: drooling, embarrassment, and saying the wrong thing in front of Sophia.
Jimmy
Best friend & tech genius
Can trip over absolutely nothing and land on his face. Also the world's leading kid expert on tech stuff, proud owner of George—the luckiest tabby cat in Goodsprings—and big brother to Randy.
Sophia Little
Rival turned teammate
Crushed PB&J in the Town Hall seed-spitting contest and has the attitude to prove it. Dr. Vile once turned her into his robot sidekick—big mistake. Nobody out-sasses Sophia for long.
Dr. Vile
The villain (boo!)
Evil scientist with a terrible mullet and a green-goo zapper that turns anything into food. Eat the food, and you become his minion. His master plan? Turn all of Goodsprings into his personal lunch—and an army of minions to serve it. Loves tacos. Has never once said "please" or "thank you" without being forced. Boo!

Book 1
Attack of the Green Goo
Dr. Vile rolls into Goodsprings in his green-goo tank, zapping everything in sight into food—and turning anyone who takes a bite into his minion. Mayor Lumford is in danger, the whole town is after PB&J, and the fate of the galaxy rests on… a sandwich. Good thing PB&J's lame power turns out to be exactly what Goodsprings needs.
Summer vacation! Beach days, ice cream… and a giant T-Rex crashing Sophia's soccer game. To avoid becoming dino-snacks, Team PB&J joins forces with Ron and Phil, the crazy-driving security guards, and Randy, Jimmy's clever little brother. Can they outsmart Timmy T-Rex and save the day?
Lunches are disappearing all over Goodsprings Elementary—sandwiches, snacks, and cookies vanishing right out of the cafeteria! Who is sneaking away with everyone's food, and why? Team PB&J turns detective to follow the clues, crack the case, and stop the Cookie Crook before the whole school goes hungry.
Coloring pages, word searches, and more puzzling fun with the whole Team PB&J gang—including a sneak-peek first chapter of Crunch of the Dino-Roar. Find it wherever PB&J books are sold.
