Mr. Flux by Kyo Maclear - ADVISABLE


Maclear, Kyo Mr. Flux, illustrated by Matte Stephens.  Kids Can Press, 2013.  $17.  PICTURE BOOK.  Content: G. 

 Martin lives a predictable life in a predictable town.  When Mr. Flux moves in next door, Martin’s world and his town gets a good shaking and awaking.  Fluxus is a movement that started in the 1960’s and persists to some extent today.  Martin and Mr. Flux are characters able to stand on their own as an example of not being afraid of change – a good lesson at any age.  The illustrations, with their retro vibe, feel just right for the narration.
