Ten-year-old Addie knows that Superheroes aren't real, and that they certainly don't hide out in retirement communities, but she may just have to change her mind.
Addie and her mom never stay in one place too long. They've been up and down
and all around the country. When her mom, Tish, gets a new job at Happy Valley
Village Retirement Community in Pennsylvania, Addie believes they'll be on the
road again in a month. But this time, something is different--make that,
someone. Mr. Norris, a grumpy resident of Happy Valley and. . .a former
superhero?
Well, that's what Marwa, whose mom also works at Happy Valley, would try and
have Addie believe. Addie and her friend Dickson know better even if there are
things they can't explain. Like the time Mr. Norris was about to get hit by a
car and was suddenly on the other side of the road or the way his stare seems to
take root in Addie's stomach.
When a man starts prowling the Happy Valley grounds, claiming to be the
great-nephew of a resident, Addie, Marwa, and Dickson soon stumble into a grand
conspiracy involving the Manhattan Project, a shady weapons company, and the
fate of the human race, in this smart, funny middle grade novel.
Praise For HOW TO SAVE A SUPERHERO:
★ "Featuring a cast whose distinct personalities are clearly
built out, Freeman’s imaginative, suspenseful, and well-paced novel of
intergenerational friendship will keep readers guessing."—Publishers
Weekly, Starred Review
"Behind an uncommonly savvy, redoubtable protagonist, Freeman stocks her
cast with a diverse array of equally vivacious characters, including as lively
and hilarious a group of resident seniors as ever was. . . . A clever, lively
romp."—Kirkus Reviews
My Review:
How to Save a Superhero is the first book I have read by Ruth Freeman. I found Addie’s story to be entertaining. It is far from predictable and kept me involved in the tale to keep reading. I liked it.
I am giving How to Save a Superhero four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who are between the ages of eight and twelve years old and likes to get into mystery and fun reads. I would love to read more like this one by Ruth Freeman in the future.
I received a paperback copy of How to Save a Superhero from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
