Kirby, Stan. Captain Awesome to the Rescue! Vol. 1. New York: Simon & Schuster, Inc., 2012. N. pag. 11 vols. Print.
I needed to read a "boy book" for one of the classes I'm currently taking at Boise State. I decided to start my read a little early in order to try and get a little bit of a head start on my homework load. I wound up loving the book so much that I finished the whole thing in one sitting! It is a very easy read; a chapter book with 10 chapters and a reading level of 3.8.
Eugene McGillicudy is an 8 year old boy who doubles as the super hero Captain Awesome. When his family moves to a new town he is forced to start at a new school and make new friends, all while charged with the task of fighting evil villains such as Queen Sitnkypants, Ms. Beastly, and Little Miss Stinky Pinky. He is elated when he discovers that his new best friend, Charlie, is also a super hero in the disguise of an 8 year old student at Sunnyview Elementary. This comedic read is definitely something little boys will gobble up!
I loved this book so much that I am going in search of the other books, (currently totaling 11, I believe), in the series. I cannot wait until my son is old enough to enjoy them himself!
No matter your age or your gender you should read and own this book!
