My thoughts on the book:
They say a picture is worth 1000 words. I thought I would share my views on the book with a picture. While on winter break, the 9 year old was supposed to be helping me with a winter cleaning. Here she is reading Comics Squad: Lunch! I had to ration out time for reading or I would never have gotten any work out of her. This book is definitely kid approved.
Look for a copy at your local indie bookstore or public library.
