What's badder than using a Possum Populator to create your very own evil penguin sidekick? Running for mayor. Then taking over the world. Lucky for us, Carl the possum isn't quite sure what it takes to win a human election.

Carl the possum is bad. Bad to the bone. And he wants to take over the world.

So he decides to run for mayor. The only problem is he has to get people to vote for him first. Hijinx and laughs abound as Carl and his penguin sidekick Philbert try to entice potential voters with guppies, mice cream, and other completely misguided gestures. Will Carl be elected mayor? Or will chaos rule?

Justin Col n and James Rey Sanchez bring true hilarity and wit to the second book starring Carl and Philbert.

Reviews for Impossible Possum for Mayor!

Praise for Impossible Possums: ""Kids will giggle over this comically inventive story and Carl’s exaggeratedly humorous wickedness and will enjoy coming up with additional outlandish P possibilities the Populator could deliver. The dynamic, colorful digital illustrations are equally riotous, conveying sound effects and deploying typographical creativeness. Fast-paced fun and hijinks."" —Kirkus Praise for Impossible Possum for Mayor!: ""Rey Sanchez’s speech bubbles and digital illustrations feel like screenshots for an animated film; rife with zany energy, they’ll appeal to those making their first forays into comics. Fans of chaotic humor will be pleased as punch."" —Kirkus
