Rosen, Lucy Epic: M.K. Save the Day,32 pgs. HarperCollins,
2013. $3.99 EARLY READER Content:
G.
This early reader is based on the new
movie Epic. M.K. lives with her
scientist father, Bomba. Bomba believes
that there is a world of little people in the forest and he wants to discover
them. M.K. is annoyed with her father’s
obsession, until one day she chases her dog into the forest and finds the world
of forest folk. She quickly becomes
involved in their efforts to save a blooming pod that determines the coming of
spring to the forest. M.K. uses her
father’s help to save the forest people from the evil army of Boggans.
This book is a quick summary of the story and
so the characters and the story aren’t well developed. However, a young reader will be interested to
know about the new world and whether or not the forest can be saved. The pictures are bright and each page has
about three sentences of text. Fun for
kids who liked the movie.
