Those aged nine and up will appreciate The Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking Over the World with its illustrations by Ethan Long. Laughter and smiles are guaranteed for even the reluctant reader as the reader discovers in ten easy steps and chapters how to rule the world. Tips on making an evil genius are actually quite funny. They, together with comic exaggeration poke fun, poke fun at parents and authority figures and the excesses that make spoiled kids brats. Contents are strictly NOT to be taken seriously.
Told in the first person I, everyone has encountered at least one juvenile mind like the teller’s. Comments on lackey moms, video games, important facts, monikers, getaways, clothes, right-hand men, catch-phrases, etc., spoof the modern day image of cool. The mature will appreciate the subtleties of this book as comments on today’s 21st Century child-rearing practices.
The Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking Over the World’s lessons on pranking are examples of reverse psychology used for an effect. Built-in great vocabulary building words like nemesis, machinations, defenestrated, and megalomaniac add to the book’s almost gallows humor. Need more motivation, then check out http://www.poetry4kids.com, where you’ll find the author is publishing a series of short demonstration videos, revealing his top secret tips for world domination, including “How to Take Over the World on Your Summer Vacation”:

No, I’ve never thought about taking over the world. I’m a pretty quiet person and try not to make waves.
