WORDGIRL!wordgirl

Meet Becky Botsford, a mild-mannered fifth grader who, at the call of duty, transforms into WordGirl - caped crusader and definition dynamo! When there is trouble in The City, this super heroine-in-disguise uses vocabulary to defeat outlaws bent on "WORD" domination. With the help of her faithful monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face, WordGirl spends each episode defeating a quirky cast of villainous villains - from "Dr. Two-Brains" to "The Butcher" - with her power punches and dictionary strength and proves that eloquence is a superpower!
