My 10 year old son reviewed Kid Normal and the Final Five on audiobook.
He thoroughly enjoyed it and found it extremely funny. The characters were brilliant, he liked them all...even Nicholas Knox!

Enjoyable episode, full of friendship and silliness (and a bit of X-Men).

Another adventure set in the school for superheroes, with Murph, Kid Normal, at the heart of things. A previous antagonist returns, the teachers are back, the friends are still close, and the humour is just as whacky as ever (the rabbit story returns!).

My son was laughing in the back of the car quite regularly, I enjoyed hearing the author-narrators talk to us and play with words. And I did like the idea from X-Men of people treated as lesser citizens because of their superpowers, with familiar villain Knox willing popular favour with his xenophobia.

A lesson for modern times, there.

Lots about working together and friendship, about appreciating your talents, and lots of fun as well. Well-narrated by the two writers, who are very easy to follow and brought out the humour of the text.

For ages 7-11.

With thanks to Netgalley for providing a sample audio copy.

This is a great first book from the authors who read it beautifully – not surprising seeing as radio DJ is the day job. What’s the take-away = not all superheroes wear capes. I am excited to use this as a read aloud in my classroom and should keep the children engaged and entertained.
Thanks to #netgalley for gifting me the audio version of #kidnormal in exchange for an honest review – I’m off to buy a copy for my classroom.

Fun for Kids and Adults

Audiobook Review:
This is such a fun audiobook! The book’s authors are the narrators, and they do a fantastic job. What I loved most about this book is the humor. Parts of it had me laughing out loud, which is rare even in an adult book (let alone a children's book). I loved it when one character was said to come in “raging like a thesaurus” as he hurled frustrated words at all in the vicinity. It's an audiobook that could easily be played in the car during a family trip because there will be enough to keep the adults amused and entertained along with the children. I often shy away from reviewing middle-grade books because I fell in love with reading at that age, and I don't want to be disappointed by hearing or reading poorly written books for that age. This is a book that makes me glad that I break that rule on occasion as it was such a joy. Highly recommended.
