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, mostra altro 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.

In questa storia il prode Capitan Mutanda, che tale diventa bevendo il supersucco, deve intervenire per togliere dai guai Giorgio e Carlo che, malgrado le raccomandazioni, si sono ficcati nei pasticci con un gabinetto chimico trasformato in una macchina del tempo, che invece di trasportarli, appunto, nel tempo, li trasporta in un universo parallelo dove, ma guarda un po’, tutto funziona a rovescio, i buoni sono cattivi e altre cose di questo genere mai sentite…
E chi vanno a incontrare in questo mondo Giorgio e Carlo? Casualmente i loro gemelli più che cattivissimi!!
Arriva Capitan Mutanda per salvare la situazione che, manco a dirlo, incontrerà anche lui il suo opposto cattivo, si scatenerà una battaglia senza esclusione di colpi in cui i buoni (dipende sempre dai punti di vista) sembrano soccombere alla cattivissima cattiveria di quel mondo opposto, ma… ecco che succede l’imprevedibile: i nonni si sono scolati un cartone di supersucco, si trasformano in ultranonni, piombano sui cattivi cattivissimi e rimettono tutto a posto a forza di supersberle, e tutto finisce bene? Non proprio, ma la colpa è dei ragazzini che subito si cacciano in un altro guaio da cui però gli ultranonni si guardano bene dall’intervenire per andare a farsi un po’ di comodacci loro…
Interessante storia da cui si possono trarre delle buone conclusioni, una è sicuramente che d’ora in poi guarderò bene i gabinetti chimici, prima di entrarci, per accertami della loro normalità, trovare un altro me stesso al contrario non è che mi attiri molto, sono già troppo io!
La seconda cosa è più che altro una riflessione: ma quando si ha a che fare con questi mondi paralleli chi è che decide qual è quello giusto? E se fossimo noi i contrari di qualcun altro? Chi decide cosa?
Grandi interrogativi che credo tali rimarranno…… (altro)
