Bacon, Lee Joshua Dread (Book#1) 272 pgs. Delacorte Books for Young
Readers, 2012. $12.13 (Rating: G)
Joshua Dread has
a terrible secret; his parents are Supervillians. They are constantly trying to
cause mayhem and are constantly thwarted by their nemesis, the showy Captain
Justice. We meet Joshua just as his life turns upside down –he is developing
powers of his own, he meets a new friend who is going through the same thing,
and all the supervillians are in super danger. Worst of all Joshua will have to
decide –is he a supervillian or a superhero?
I rolled my eyes
on the first few pages, but was so so glad I kept reading. This was an
extremely fun read, featuring genuine characters, and a carefully crafted and well-paced
book. This quickly became a one-sitting read, as I couldn't stop reading. I think students
will LOVE this new series!
ELEMENTARY–ADVISABLE
