Creature Kid Volume 1: The Teenage Chronicles
Author: Rashad Freeman
Format: Kindle
Reading Level: Young Adult
Summary- Why do the movies always portray mutants as having some kind of glorious plight? If a kid got bit by a radioactive spider he’d probably puke webs right before he died. Men that can walk through bullets and fly don’t dress in tights and pretend to be newspaper reporters. And there are no special flashlights to shine in the air to signal you when there’s trouble. You want to be a superhero and fight crime? Prospects are unlikely at best. Chances are you’d just get sued by the criminals you arrested and put in prison for delivering your own vigilante justice.
The truth of the matter is living as a mutant is risky business. Uncontrollable outbreaks, delusions of grandeur and don’t forget the horde of scientists eager to pick you apart to figure out what makes you tick. Did you really expect a special school to crop up just to take care of all the misfortunate adolescents? Or you could create your own little team by adding Fantastic, Super, or Glorious to the front of a number. No, you wouldn’t be so lucky. And neither was Anthony Dimair, as a matter of fact he was the exact opposite. Now he must survive long enough to find the meaning of his Uncle’s cryptic message while avoiding capture, fighting the elements, and trying to not end up as dinner.
My Rating-
My Review- This was a really great young adult fantasy story. A lot of action packed into a short amount of pages.You get to know the main couple of characters pretty quick and the story provides quite a few laughs and shakes of the head. Really great cliffhanger ending that literally leaves you yelling for more. I will definitely be recommending this book and i’ll be looking for the next volume to see what happens next.
