BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO:MANY
Switcheroo wakes up one morning to find he has the superpower of telekinesis. He is so excited. He immediately wants to contact his hero, Vin Valor, and ask to be his sidekick. Switch's mom is away on a business trip and he has a robot for a babysitter. He slips out of the house to take on a supervillain to impress Vin Valor. Things don't go quite as planned. Then Switch finds that he wakes up every morning with a different superpower, some more useful than others. Switch tries to contact his mom and after several days decides something is very wrong. Together with some new unlikely friends, Switch works out a plan to find and save his mom.
A great superhero adventure chapter book that is enhanced by short, comic-style drawings mixed in with the text. It is fun to imagine having a new superpower every day. The story is funny, fast-paced and entertaining. It will appeal to reluctant and avid readers alike. It ends on a cliffhanger so be sure to have all the books in the series on your shelf.
