The stability of the community is threatened when masked men start robbing banks and a Blue Super Hero comes out of the sky to save the community. Add the fact that if you're of Latino descent then you must surely have spent your childhood praying to Jesus while trying to survive the tenth drive-by of the week and, after you grew up, you started taking part in said drive-bys, which admittedly sounds a bit more fun.

Minion fans everywhere will be able to carry a tonne of fun with them wherever their adventures take them, with the need to steal a shrink ray. When I first picked up this book, I thought it was going to be a continuation of the first book in the series.BIXBY's LAST DAY, Anderson is a firm believer in wearing the same pair of jeans for three days in a row (four in the winter) and the power of writing to solve 73% of the world's problems. This story is about love and hope, the loss of a normal childhood and the pain of being a part of a family, even if it is just a man and his son. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demons—predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy. They have a nice little business going until a super comes to town and threatens to change everything.

The Comet could destroy everything Michael and his dad have built, the safe and secure life they’ve made for themselves in a city where safety and security are scarce. It took me a while to get past the first few chapters, but the pace did pick up just as other reviewers here said it did. So while this first book is hard to trudge though I'm glad that I did because I've loved the books that follow.When you live in New Liberty, known across the country as the City without a Super, there are only two kinds of people, after all: those who turn to crime and those who suffer. There is a moment, just before you open one, when a box contains anything, when it could be anything. I read this because Banks is a staple author within the paranormal genre, and I've enjoyed the novels of authors influenced by her. Considering how well the male characters are written in this book, it’s a shame that the women are so reductive – I can only hope that should there be any other books in this series, we’ll gain a little more perspective. Supporting characters seemed stereotypical - the hispanic guy, the white biker, the asian martial arts master, etc.

David Lewman is a children’s book author who has written more than 65books starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Jimmy Neutron, the Fairly OddParents, G. This is a chosen one narrative, and the events in the story revolve around when the stars align, and is a pretty straightforward good vs evil story.To top all this off, the bad side finishes off the story and we don’t ever really revisit our main cast. John David Anderson, author of the acclaimed Sidekicked, has written another story set in an America where superheroes and supervillains are commonplace, but where the line between right and wrong, good and evil, is still not any less elusive. Some of the reviews I read (unfortunately after I'd already finished with the book) actually reveled in the romance aspect of the book, especially the relationship between Damali and Carlos. Honestly, I thought he was going to die right along with the rest of his crew once he decided to take on the mafias controlling sections of L. In comparison, Minion is a much darker tale (to be expected, as this is a story following villains instead of supers), but one that is every bit as unexpected and moving as its predecessor.
