The Audacious Adventures of Zazoo Plazz: Part-Time Superhero, Full-Time Mom Leslie Bilodeau Placzek

As an only child growing up in the 1970s, Leslie Bilodeau Placzek (aka "Zazoo Plazz") read, wrote, and wondered about many things: "French" words (from her "Bilodeau" French heritage); TV commercials (and all things pop culture); astrology; yoga; baked beans; what the neighbors were up to; where our souls go when we die; and how to improve upon her mother's cleaning techniques. Motivated by learning and serving others, Leslie hops from one inflated expectation to the next on her journey to fully embody and express Zazoo Plazz, a twenty-first-century career woman, wife and mother. She is a "Part-Time Superhero, Full-Time Mom" - and her stories honor the superhero in all women. This collection of vignettes is a playful romp through the quirky imagination of a "Late-Blooming Post-Boomer" as she enters midlife - and finally learns how to share her discoveries with the world, become her own superhero, tame her "big '80s hair," and find an outfit appropriate for running a household, a business, and a half marathon. But will her canine sidekick, DD (aka Bebe - the Divine Diva dog), steal the scene---and the last slice of pizza--and bring Zazoo back down to earth?
