The Terrible Trio is a fun illustrated series, best described as The Bad Guys meets Madagascar!

In a world where all animals have superpowers, Zeb the zebra, Margarine the penguin, and Barry the lemur have the WORST powers of all.

Zeb, Margarine, and Barry end up at the back of the line to have the Superpower Supermarket Manager grant them their superpowers and end up getting the short end of the stick. Margarine is granted the special ability to make macaroni and cheese. Barry the Lemur is gifted with the power to write neatly. And Zeb the Zebra can now blend in with a crosswalk…

Working at a café and watching everybody else save the world day in and day out, Zeb, Margarine, and Barry wonder if they will ever get to be superheroes for a day themselves.

“A funny story, with lots of melodrama from Zeb and silliness around the various superpowers … The black and white illustrations are full of expression and bring the characters to life brilliantly.” – Booktrust
