MY TIDBITS
With just a little tension and more than a few favorite characters, this is a quick adventure to raise reading enthusiasm.
Yellow cars have been winning all sorts of races recently, and G.H.O.S.T. fears this may not be a coincidence. Optimus Prime, Megatron, and other agents are sent on a mission to make sure there aren't any rogue Transformers taking part in the races. The biggest fear is that Bumblebee might be involved, although he should be taking care of the kids and Terrans back at the farm.
This books comes out after the latest movie and is sure to grab the interest of young Transformer fans.
There are five chapters, each one fairly short and easy to read, while holding an interesting story. The font is larger than usual, making for easier reading. Then, there's the illustrations, which not only follow the well-known characters but let the scenes come across visually to aide young readers in understanding the text. Plus, they are enjoyable to look at.
The characters are familiar from the movie and stick to the personalities they are known to have. The situations is tense enough to make the story interesting and, still, very age appropriate. It's a nice way to lure in even reluctant readers and let them enjoy another Transformer adventure on their own.
And here they are...
