GRAPHIC NOVEL
Tucker and Hudson discover the items their mom bought at a
local yard sale have magical powers. They decide to become super heroes! But a
neighborhood man also ends up with some items from the sale and doesn't have
the same good intentions. The boys adventure continues as they find their mom
bought a trunk at the same sale. Now they are training harder than ever -they
have a dragon to face in another world.
I love this book for middle school, it has hopeful main
characters with an authentic relationship, lots of plot twists, and is just
really creative. The artwork has a darkness to it, that gives it a creepy feel.
The plot is a bit intense for elementary as the nemesis murders his mother in a
fit of rage. I recommend for 6th grade and up.
