Supersonic by Jonny Zucker-OPTIONAL



Zucker, Jonny. ill. by Ned Woodman, Supersonic. Pgs. 140. Darby Creek, 2013. $27.93. Content: Language: G, Mature Content: G, Violence: PG

Max, explosive escapologist and master magician, is back for another mission. When the Department of Extraordinary Activity tells Max that there’s a vicious alien race preparing for a revenge attack, Max is blasted off into to space to save the planet. Will he succeed?

The characters are one-dimensional and show little growth. The story, however, is interesting enough to appeal to elementary school reluctant readers interested in action adventures. EL. OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
