Official SummaryWhen Newt Newman's football-star brother, Chris, is knocked into a coma during the biggest game of the season, Newt's two best friends keep his mind off of the accident by helping him create the ultimate Halloween costume: Captain Nobody. Newt feels strong and confident in his new getup, so he keeps wearing it after Halloween is over. Soon Newt assumes the role of a hero in a string of exploits that include foiling a robbery and saving a planeload of passengers. But will Captain Nobody be able to save the one person he cares about most?
My Two Cents
Charlie started off reading this book to me, which was a nice change of events- and after the ringing endorsement on the cover from Henry Winkler I was anxious to hear the story.
Well, the story was ok. Not great, not terrible. But certainly not memorable. Sadly I found myself encouraging Charlie to read this one to himself. Which he did, and he enjoyed it well enough - it had a decent and endearing message...but it was just a little too much for me to enjoy it for my own self. Great book for your grade schooler - but let them tackle this one on their own.
Sorry, Fonzie.
