My 8-year old loves this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of this at Book Expo in Los Angeles this year. Plus, the author was there and autographed it for my sons. (He was very nice.) My 8-year-old reads way above grade level but isn't a big fiction fan--he'd rather read instruction manuals for video games, and research stuff on the web! But since he has to read 15 books this month for school, he grabbed this off our bookshelf (he had read it before), read it last night, and then this morning, read through it again (he never does this!). I asked him if he liked the book and he said, "Yeah, it's funny!" I think he likes it because it's good v. evil and superhero-ish, not to mention entertaining. Though this was an easy read for him, I'm just happy he enjoyed reading it again and again! I will be getting some more books from this author and see if my son likes them too.
