It's a teaser. The idea is interesting, but the artwork is not to my taste.

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle For an introduction to the characters in the DC Super Hero Girls show, this is actually a pretty entertaining book. The book tells about the Hero of the Month award, which students at Super Hero High can earn for being helpful or doing good deeds. Then it goes through some of the past winners such as Katana, Bumblebee, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl. There is a brief blurb about each student as well as place of origin, powers, and specialty. There are also tons of cool pictures throughout the book. This definitely makes me want to watch the show. The movies have been on My List on Netflix since they were first added. Maybe I'll finally get to them this weekend. |
THE GRAY WOLF OF CHICAGO.
"Hitching his way out of Northern Michigan, Gareth Manion, a gutter punk with wolf-like abilities, heads to Chicago to start a new life for himself. Unbeknownst to him, the Windy City is plagued by a super powered gang, whose leader is always seeking ways to increase his own prowess--and Gareth has become their main target.
Unfortunately for them, they don't realize how powerful Gareth really is.
Friendship, romance, vengeance--this is the explosive origin of the hard boiled superhero, GODAN, back when he was known as THE GRAY WOLF OF CHICAGO."

For more reviews, check out my blog Craft-Cycle Found this is the Little Free Lending Library by my house and, as a big fan of superheroes and picture books, I picked it up to give it a read. This is a fun story about mixed-up super powers. The illustrations are cool, because of the superhero mashups. I ended up bringing this book to work (I work with 3-5-year-olds) and all of the kids enjoyed it as well, (especially Tiny Hulk Smash!). I don't know much about the Superhero Squad, but my one complaint would be that there are absolutely no female characters in the book. A quick Google search revealed that there are a decent amount of female characters in the series (Invisible Woman, Storm, Ms. Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, Black Widow, Sif), but none appear in this book despite the mixed cast of Avengers and X-men. Overall, a fun read with great illustrations. Would just like some more female representation. |
This was a good book about someone who didn’t toons to be a superhero but ended up becoming one. Reece Richards the very rich owner of the hotel and “bolt” tried to stay away from everyone but ended up meeting his sole mate in Emmalina Crist. The story was good but I just couldn’t get into it. I loved the romance and love story but am not a fan of the science part of it. I am a fan of Angel Payne and will still wait for other releases from this author. This is also a part of a series of other standalone books that I will be reading.
