Super Turbo vs. the Flying Ninja Squirrels

April 1, 2017

Gr 2-5-Super Turbo, Professor Turtle, Boss Bunny, The Green Winger, Fantastic Fish, Great Gecko, and Wonder Pig, super pets extraordinaire, are back in action. This time, Whiskerface and his minions steal a Golden Acorn but lose it. To top it off, Professor Turtle is acting differently. When Ninja Squirrels invade the school and demand that their sacred acorn be returned, the Super Pet Superhero League must intervene. Can Super Turbo and his friends find the acorn before Whiskerface does? What does Whiskerface want with it? The black-and-white illustrations are detailed and engaging. The characters are entertaining and will easily draw in young readers. Fans of "Captain Underpants," "Captain Awesome," and humorous pet tales will enjoy this early chapter book series. VERDICT Although kids don't need to be familiar with the first installment to understand this volume, they will be eager to read both. A solid purchase for libraries serving chapter book readers.-Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City
