The third book in a SUPER (like, actually, with powers and stuff) new series for readers aged 7+ – from the amazingly talented illustrator and author Sophy Henn! Brimming with Sophy’s hilarious illustrations and comic strips, this is the perfect read for fans of Dork Diaries, Tom Gates, Amelia Fang, Wimpy Kid and Dog Man.
“A SPECTACULAR superhero story that fizzes with fun on every page!” – Liz Pichon, author of the bestselling TOM GATES series. HELLO! My name is PIZAZZ and I’m a superhero . . . You probably think that’s really AWESOME, and while it can be, it’s also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying. Even though I’m saving the world ALL THE TIME, there are still LOADS of bad guys about. Like super baddie PERFECTO! She’s younger than me, and just . . . well, PERFECT! But I have a plan. Maybe I just need to be perfect too – even moreperfect than Perfecto. Easy-peasy, right?!Hilariously narrated by reluctant superhero Pizazz, and brimming with Sophy’s distinctive illustrations and comic-book strips, this is the third book in the laugh-out-loud PIZAZZ series.

Reviews
Pizazz is my favourite character because she ended up making friends with Perfecto.
The book was perfect! I would rate it 10 million! It was as good as vanilla cake!
I like that her dog Wanda licks her face to tell her she has got a super hero mission
The book was very interesting and filled with lots of Humor and fun!
I loved this book it was very funny
Nice book
I like comic books and it was a break from naughtiest unicorn books:)
My favourite part was at the end when perfecto found out that know one was perfect its like perfect is not a word. Most of my friends would like this book.
It took me a long time to read it but it was totally worth it. I loved it.
This book is very intriguing. It is about someone called pizazz (who is a superhero) wanting to beat perfecto -who is a super villain- but she cant. So pizazz try’s to be perfect like perfecto, and try’s to beat perfecto.I really like this book because it is very interesting and I always want to know what happens next.
It was funny and had a good moral.
My favorite character is Pizazz. I would recommend the book.
It was a good fighting book.
A nice book
It was intresting because it is a funny story and it teach us that noeone is perfect and everyone makes mistakes
it was amazing how at the end perfecto realized that you should just be yourself to be perfect and had fun just playing with her friends and forgot about her plan to beat perfecto and win and decided to just be herself.
I am still perfect (unlike Pizazz)
The third book in the Pizazz series. Pizazz has finally turned 9 1/2 so she gets to fight a villain on her own. But this villain is perfect at everything. Can Pizazz beat Perfecto?
goodish
Its super funny!
Really good book.
I loved that even though Pizazz kept on getting defeated she kept on trying! I also liked the name of the band that Pizazz and her friends made.
It was a really good book ,was attached to it first look.it was fiction but it also showed the stress of being a nine year old kid . My favourite character is pizazz because she never gives up on defeating perfecto.it was more silly then factual .it interested me by telling me what happens on a regular basis of a young superhero .I recommend it to my sister who loves this type of silliness.
This is a nice book. This is a book about a super (as in superhero) girl who is called Pizazz that try's to change her life style to be perfect to defeat a bade who is perfect. But then Pizazz under stands that nobody's perfect and she dose not need to be prefect to defeat the bade. But does she defeat the bade and if you think yes HOW read the book to find out. This is a fiction book and my favorite character is Perfecto.
Pizazz Vs Perfecto is an exhilarating fiction book jam-packed with a whole lot of adventure and laughs.
My favourite character is Pizazz who thinks the only way to defeat the 8 1/2 year old villain, Perfecto, is by being even more perfect than her and beating her at her own game.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book full of adventure, laughs, superheroes and an iconic hero.
I think how pizazz was beaten three times was funny. She did beat perfecto by being perfect but she ended up with her falling out of her friendship group.
Very fun book
My favourite character was Ed. The book is about a new supervillain called perfecto who is perfect and very hard to defeat
This book is great ,it has lots of pictures . This is a fiction book and I really enjoyed it. I recommend it to years 6-10
I would recommend this book because it is really funny and has lots of amazing characters. This book was magnificent!
I enjoyed the book. l would read it again my favourite character was Pizazz .I think it is fiction.
i would rate it a 4 because perfecto is one year younger than pizazz and she is stronger than her.
and has more powers than her.
I like the book
