Reluctant readers who enjoy Superman
and superheroes in general will enjoy this new title by Laurie Sutton,
illustrated by Luciano Vecchio. In this
title, Superman is busy saving a submarine, when a Metropolis Airline plane needs assistance. When Superman is assisting the airplane, he realizes that something big is happening. Along with two new gods, Superman and his
friends are
being invaded by the Female Furies, and Darkseid is behind it all. Fearing
that Darkseid and his crew might find the Infinity Particle, Superman and his
friends must stop him to save the universe.
Readers will cheer Superman on as he battles with the evil Lord
Darkseid, since he’s the only one who can defeat him. The author uses onomatopoeia to describe the
sounds of actions throughout.
The book includes several pages of color graphics intermixed in the story, a
profile of Darkseid, biographical information on the author and illustrator, a glossary
of terms, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Students are also given guided to FactHound, where they may use the
book’s International Standard Book Number to obtain additional information and
other cool things.
For schools that use Accelerated
Reader, this title already has a quiz ready for readers (AR Quiz #152839).
