📚A Cartoon Style Children’s Superhero Story. Rosie’s #Bookreview of Super Ghost by @gregjames and @itschrissmith #KidsLit #ChildrensBooks

Super Ghost: From the hilarious bestselling authors of Kid Normal by Greg James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Super Ghost is a children’s story with a suggested reading age of eight – twelve years of age.

The tale is based around a superhero called Doctor Extraordinary who becomes a ghost early in the narrative. The city that he once guarded now comes under threat. Only his number one fan, a young boy called Sonny, keeps faith that the Doc can return to save the day—but it’s tricky when the superhero is a ghost.

The Doc’s arch enemy Captain Chaos is also featured in this hectic and fast-paced plot, while panda bears make an appearance in a final city takeover bid.

Throughout the story the writers add breaks to talk to the reading audience about details of the story using the fourth wall technique. It allows them to explain points or just to add more fun to the script.

The book is sprinkled with black and white illustrations in a cartoon style and there is good attention to detail with eye-catching graphics used for page numbers and word fonts to boost the appeal to the target audience.

Overall, a good example of an appealing children’s book.

Book description

Super hero. Super DEAD!

It’s just another day at the office for world-famous superhero Doctor Extraordinary as he battles his arch-nemesis Captain Chaos in yet another epic showdown. Unfortunately this one doesn’t quite go to plan and they both get blown up inside a giant robot.

Dr Ex’s number-one-fan, twelve-year-old Sonny Nelson, is devastated. A world without heroes is totally rubbish! But things take an even more extraordinary turn when Doctor Ex returns as a ghost and only Sonny can see him . . .
