Determined to find justice for his brother, Hiro and his friends will become a team of superheroes and stop a criminal bent on revenge, before he destroys the entire city.
COVID-19 has changed so many things for so many people. One thing it changed for me and my kids is that we are homeschooling this year. Not only are we reading for school, but we are still reading together before bed. This means that we are reading through all of our younger books way too fast. So, we are reading chapter books together as well.
This novelization of the Disney film mirrors the movie nearly perfectly and is written using vocabulary young readers are able to understand. The characters were described in detail, allowing the reader to picture them, and their settings, in their mind. I would like to point out that when I asked my children if they were able to visualize the action and characters, they pointed out that they have already seen the movie, so it wasn’t hard for them.
I would like to add that I did, as the reader, struggle with some of the words that are not English. I had no idea how to pronounce some of them, I do not remember them being used in the movie’s dialogue. It had been a while since we had seen it, when we read the book we decided to wait to watch it until we had finished the book.
I enjoyed reading this novel, and my children also seemed to enjoy it, and we would recommend this novel to fans of the film as well as other exciting hero adventures.
I bought our copy of this novel and the image featured above is my own.
