Books Review [WITH GIVEAWAY]

Even as we try to declutter our books, there will always be new books streaming in. And we love it! Pansing has sent our bookworms some books for read and review. And here's what Jazz has to say about the Kid Normal book 1 and 2.


1. KID NORMAL YOU DON'T NEED SUPERPOWERS TO BE A HERO 
Murph Cooper has a problem. His new school is top secret, and super weird. His classmates can all fly, control the weather or conjure tiny horses from thin air. And what's Mruph's extraordinary skill? He hasn't got one! Just as there are no revolting supervillians lurking nearby, their minds abuzz with evil plans. 

It's time for Kids Normal to become a hero!

Jazz's review:
"Join Murph in his new school. 'The school' is not your everyday school. It is a school for people with special capability (cape) from ice powers to force fields. Murph accidentally joins this school, where he is known as kid normal. Life in school is not a daydream. Other than keeping 'The school' a secret, Murph gets bully for not having a cape and his teacher, Mr Flash is determined to make his life horrible. One day Murph makes four new friends, Hilda the girl who could make two tiny horses appear out of thin air, Mary who can only fly with an umbrella, Billy the boy who can inflate any part of his body and Nellie the girl who can make thunderstorms. Mr Flash thinks their powers are useless, but you are just about to see how wrong he is. One day a scientist tries to see what is in the brain of a wasp, but his experiment went wrong, and that fateful day was the day Nektar was made. Nektar wants to take over the school with hypnotism helmets. It is up to Murph and his friends to save the day with the help of the schools caretaker, Carl and the secretary of the principal, Flora. 

Don't worry, the book hasn't ended. Read the next book to find out what happens ... ...




2. KIDS NORMAL AND THE ROGUE HEROES
Not all heroes have superpowers. Murph Cooper is a living prrof. Since becoming Kid Normal, he and the Super Zeroes have been catching baddies all over the place. But being a hero is about to get a whole lot harder... Far away in a top-secret prison, the world's most feared supervillian has just broken a thirty-year silence. His first words? "Bring Kid Normal to me!"

Jazz's review
In book two, Murph and his friends are know as the super zeros. This time, things are better for Murph. Then the most evil villain (rogue) in the world, Magpie asks to see him. Magpie has the capability to steal people's cape. He gives Murph a poem, help Murph crack the code. Join him as he searches for clues to defeat Magpie.
