Product Description: So what’s it like living with Atomic Ace, a dad who battles robots and can fly?
It’s not as weird as you might think—after all, Ace is always there to fix Saturday lunch and play ball with his son. Mom is just Mom and Dad is just Dad—they’re a normal family!
And a normal dad can sometimes mess up. That’s what happens when Atomic Ace meets his ruthless nemesis, Insect King. This normal family is stressed!
Not quite what I was hoping for. I have a son who is 7 (entering 2nd grade) and really into super heros. I ordered this book (and the second book in the series) for him in the hopes that they would encourage him to read. That didn't quite happen. Eventhough he loved the story (I read it to him) and the illustrations are imaginative, the reading level of the book was way too hard for him! I actually was shocked at how difficult some of the words were. And, since it is not a chapter book, I am not sure it will be one he will pick up when he is at that reading level required by the book.
A FUN STORY FOCUSING ON FAMILY LOVE AND SUPPORT What's a guy to do when he has a super hero for a father? After all, most dads can't fly (on their own) or battle robots or catch bank robbers. But, if he's the only dad you've ever known that's just normal. Your mom is just your mom and your dad is just your dad.
Unfortunately, some of the kids at school tend to think this particular father isn't normal at all but rather weird. Granted, it is unusual to have a father who is sometimes zapped by rays and shrunk to six inches tall or left with an ant head by an arch enemy.
When news gets around that dad has the face of an ant the kids at school really begin to tease. However, good triumphs over evil and Atomic Ace captures the Insect King, thus restoring dad's normal face. Now, dad is a hero to everyone.
But, to one boy his dad is just his dad, and he likes it that way.
"Atomic Ace" is a fun and imaginative story focusing on familial love and support.
