In this brand-new early chapter book series, Vicky von Evil has one goal β€” learn how to become the baddest, most dangerous villain of all time! The only problem is, being evil is way harder than it looks. Full of not-so-evil mess ups and action-packed hijinks, join Vicky and her best friend Will Wickedson on their wild adventures as they enrol in SVT, a top academy for all super villains in training. Together, they'll learn important combat skills and be put under the ultimate villain test. As Will easily flies through each round, Vicky has a harder time adjusting to her new school. Will Vicky be able to prove that she deserves a spot at SVT or will she get kicked out forever?
