Boy vs Beast: Rock Mutant by Mac Park
Scholastic, 2014. ISBN 9781921931680.
Boy vs Beast : Rock Mutant is the next book in this series
aimed at boys aged 7+ . It is a short novel aimed at independent
readers. Like the other books, it introduces the main character Kai
and his desire to be a Border Captain - fans of the books will
understand this! Kai's job is to protect earth from the beasts in
Beastium and to solve any problems in Beastium. In this story, water
has been found in the rock land and Kai is off to fix it.
The Boy vs Beast series is a good introduction to first
chapter novels. The chapters are short and quick moving and at 60
pages long, a child can comprehend it easily.
