My thoughts about the children's literature that I read which hopefully help my K-5 students and parents find a great book

Sort of Super
This graphic novel is on the 23-24 Great Stone Face reading list for the state of NH. It is the first in the series where the reader meets Wyatt, a middle school boy who accidentally (or was it?) gets super powers. The problem is his dad, the police officer, has told him he can not use them yet. He and his brilliant sister, with the help of their grandma, refuse to sit by and do nothing when a mysterious crime spree starts to affect their town. I like that the disappearance of their mother will be a thread tying the books together. However, I found the Principal's storyline toward the end to be quite ludicrous and wished the author had gone a different route there. My student readers will probably love it, though! (GN GAP)
