Super Turbo is the pet hamster in Classroom C, at Sunnyvale
Elementary. In this book, Turbo teams up
with the other members of the Super Pet Superhero League to take on the Pencil
Pointer. It’s big, loud and will soon
bury them all in pencil shavings. But all the kids love it and it makes their
pencils really pointy. So who will win
this battle?
This is the third book in the Super Turbo series. For those familiar with the Captain Awesome
book series, Turbo is Eugene’s sidekick, who now stars in his own series. This book has short chapters and lots of
illustrations, including comic panels, which will appeal to its targeted audience
of 5-9 year-olds. I personally was never
a fan of this series. In my opinion, the
story lines are pretty weak. While my
nine-year-old son really enjoyed the first two books in the series, he thought
this one was just okay.
