A little kid that gets ignored all the time - and has to make himself heard once again (hence the name), gets thrown in the slammer for the horrible crime of an insult.

Supervillains to overcome, superhero friends to have help you out, etc.

A funny kids book.

First published in 1975, a children's classic, and a favourite from my childhood. A funny, slightly scary but wonderful adventure of a boy, the youngest in the family, who says everything twice because nobody ever listens the first time. He is sent to a terrible prison for being rude to a grown-up, but Jacob Two-Two bravely triumphs over the ridiculous Hooded Fang, with the help of his friends and his super-hero brother and sister. Canadian author Mordecai Richler later adapted the story into a play for children. Delightful illustrations by Fritz Wegner. Suitable for ages 6 to 10. ( )
