Are you looking for a book that will have your kids begging to read? Zack Proton is your answer.
Zack is still searching for his starship, the Risky Rascal. This time, the search leads to the planet Bounceback. But the planet keeps disappearing. Planets don't just disappear, do they? Sometimes, maybe. Just ask Pluto. (See the humor this guy has?)
In this zany third installment of the Zack Proton series, Brian Anderson gives children exactly what they want. With the irreverent humor of Captain Underpants, but minus the bathroom humor, parents will be thrilled to provide this book to their young readers--and the kids will be thrilled to read it.
Though my kiddos are still in the read-to stage rather than the read-alone, they love Zack and ask for it again and again. Folks, this is a well-illustrated chapter book. Even my three-year-old will hold still to read the entire thing. But don't be scared off by the fact that young children enjoy this book. It is something the 7-10 crowd will love as well. My nephews will be getting a copy. I'm sure they will eat it up.
Armchair Interviews says: What a fun read.
