Are You Ready for a Great Middle-Grade Superhero Adventure?
Folks who know me know I love a good middle-grade book. What I didn't know is that a middle-grade author would suddenly have me wanting to watch old Batman shows so I could get a feel for the slapstick/campy tone of her Christian middle-grade adventure series. Come on, a superhero dog who feels just a little like Superman with his journalistic endeavors and disappearances whenever something goes off?
Talking with Amanda about her series and the very defined goals for what would be included in them told me this was exactly what a lot of parents are looking for. Books with no foul language, no intense violence, and no sexualization of characters. Sign me up! I loved that she just put that out there and didn't apologize. I also loved that she added other things she isn't going to promote in her series so that parents who are looking for books with those things (or without!) they wouldn't be disappointed.
So, if you miss the "good old days" of TV shows where you don't see blood spurting three feet when someone gets his nose broken in a slug fight or a busty rabbit trying to seduce a lecherous... some other anthropomorphic critter, but do want fun superhero adventure, Amanda Trupower has the series for you. Two of them, in fact! Don't miss her detective series Collar Cases! Lots of great reads for
