Here’s another of those books that I read so that you don’t have to. Not that you’d want to; but you could get suckered in. The marketing can be tricky.
Scholastic spent rafts of money on this New Age, neo-pagan, condescending, two-faced twaddle, appealing to all that is worst in young readers’ psyches. Like, what could be more seductive than the idea that you have super-powers that enable you, 11 years old and weighing only 70 pounds, to wale the tar out of a full-grown man because he wouldn’t give you what you want?
Are they trying to groom kids to be psychopaths?
Scholastic Press–avoid it.
