Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers (Book #10) by Dav Pilkey–ADVISABLE


Pilkey, Dav Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers (Book #10) 192 pgs. Scholastic Inc., 2013. $7.62.  Content: Language: G (0 swears);  Mature Content: G ;  Violence: G.

Tippy Tinkletrousers follows Harold and George through time, multiple times, dragging Captain Underpants and their pets with them. In the past, they change history one too many times, including the Big Bang and the Ice Age. Includes more curveballs than World Series baseball.  

My brain is now total whipped mush. I am not even going to say my personal opinion, though no doubt its common to many adults. The only thing that matters is will reluctant readers enjoy this book? YES! It’s full of variety of text, format, and illustration; enough to hold the attention of any ADHD student. Not only that, but there are lots of challenging vocabulary words mixed it. And of course, its filled with silliness, fun, and potty words. Will students be confused as I was? Sure, why not!
