Word Girl Episode 1: Tobey or Consequences
Pre-Reading
Becky Botsford appears to be an ordinary girl who lives with her family in a home in a typical city in the United States. She has a mother, a father, a brother, and a pet monkey, Bob (not his real name). However, she is no ordinary girl. She has superpowers that she must hide from her friends and family! Her secret identity is WordGirl. She is from the planet Lexicon. Bob, whose real name is Huggy Face, helps WordGirl do good things to help people.
On the contrary, Tobey is a 10-year-old, evil boy genius who likes to create problems for people. His mother has technology that helps people defend themselves against him. Let’s hope that it works!
