"Villainous evildoers, beware! As quickly as the sound of punk music fills the room, the heroes race to rescue!"
That was fun! Light and easy to read and understand. The playlist was so good tho! I rarely listen to punk songs, but the playlist provided in this book was also easy to listen for me who almost never listen to punk songs.
The idea of superhero who fights monsters with music player, recorder, and punk songs was so refreshing, at least for me. Even more because the characters in this book were middle-graders.
Not only about punk stuff, the storylines were also heavy on friendship and loving who you are and what you love to do. Being different is totally fine and it certainly not bad.
However I also slightly disagree with the kids being so rebellious. Fortunately this book also drew lines, albeit slightly, between self-worth and rebellious. I hope the young readers could read between the lines while reading this book.
The writing style was witty and fit with middle-graders vibes. Same goes with the illustrations. Fun and playful with details that fit the overall vibes of the book. I don't know why but the illustrations kinda reminded me of Astro Boy style of illustration.
Thank you to Mirtes Santana, Oni Press, and NetGalley for the ARC.
