MY TIDBITS

Eggs, birds, and adventure mix with superhero amazement for a tale, which is sure to grab beginner readers' attentions.

This tale features Gwen Stacy, otherwise known as Ghost-Spider. The first scenes have her at school is an interesting project for the weekend—each student is given an egg and told to keep it safe and in one piece until Monday. As a superhero, Gwen is convinced that she's by far the best one in the class for such a task, but when she runs into Vulture, things get difficult. Soon, she's chasing birds and keeping more than one egg away from danger.

This is a great book for young, superhero fans. It packs adventure and dangerous villains, which promise action and tension pure. Yet, everything is kept at a level appropriate for the age group. The characters are already known to readers, making it easy to slide right into the adventure. This also adds support when hitting the read, since a little is already known. 

The chapters are short, the font larger than usual, and the spacing wide enough to create reading ease. The vocabulary is great for those who are mostly sure of their words and adds a few tougher terms here and there to help increase reading strength.
