Author Notes
Dav Pilkey was born on March 4th, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio. His father was a steel salesman, and his mother was the organist at a local church.
In 1984, Pilkey attended Kent State University as an art major. One of Pilkey's freshman English professors complimented him on his creative writing skills, and encouraged him to write books, which launched him into his career. He found out about a contest for students who write and illustrate their own books, with the winners earning the prize of publication. Pilkey began creating his first book, "World War Won," and entered it in The National Written and Illustrated By...Awards Contest for Students. Pilkey won the contest and flew to Kansas City, Missouri to meet the editors and publishers at Landmark Editions, Inc.
Soon after the publication of World War Won, Dav moved back to Kent, Ohio where he had gone to college. In 1997, Pilkey won the Caldecott Honor for his book "The Paperboy" but is perhaps better known for his "Captain Underpants" series, which he had created while still in elementary school. His title Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers made Publisher's Weekly best seller list for 2011. His title's, The Adventures of Captain Underpants and Dog Man Unleashed, made The New York Times Best Seller List.

Horn Book Review
In the eleventh episode of their epic adventures, George and Harold once again battle the Turbo Toilet 2000. Helped along by comics-style illustrations, the energetic plot includes time travel, prankster humor, and lots of cartoonish absurdity. This installment is best for fans of the previous books, who will understand the series' many connecting threads. (c) Copyright 2015.

Kirkus Review
The famous superhero returns to fight another villain with all the trademark wit and humor the series is known for.Despite the title, Captain Underpants is bizarrely absent from most of this adventure. His school-age companions, George and Harold, maintain most of the spotlight. The creative chums fool around with time travel and several wacky inventions before coming upon the evil Turbo Toilet 2000, making its return for vengeance after sitting out a few of the previous books. When the good Captain shows up to save the day, he brings with him dynamic action and wordplay that meet the series standards. The Captain Underpants saga maintains its charm even into this, the 11th volume. The epic is filled to the brim with sight gags, toilet humor, flip-o-ramas and anarchic glee. Holding all this nonsense together is the authors good-natured sense of harmless fun. The humor is never gross or over-the-top, just loud and innocuous. Adults may roll their eyes here and there, but youngsters will eat this up just as quickly as they devoured every other Underpants episode.Dizzyingly silly.

Booklist Review
What do you get when you mix toilet monster villains, pterodactyl hamster heroes, Super Diaper Baby comic strip interludes, and a glow-in-the-dark, time-traveling Robo-Squid suit? A Captain Underpants adventure about saving the planet from impending doom! In this engaging installment in the now nearly iconic series, the text directly addresses the reader (Remember back in chapter 1?), and young superhero fans can team up with George, Harold, and Captain Underpants (aka the hypnotized principal of their school), as well as guest illustrator, Timmy Swanson (age four) . . . and Nana Gertrude (age seventy-one), for the battle of the century. Now, as Pilkey asks, that wasn't confusing at all, was it? Good. We didn't think so. Captivating comic drawings with flip-book mechanisms, punny toilet jokes (It's just a flush wound), and action-packed adventures make this a sure winner for fans and newcomers alike. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: With more than 70 million Underpants titles in print, this series only increases in worldwide popularity. Prepare for the stampede.--Miller, Annie Copyright 2014 Booklist
