Gum Girl: Countdown to destruction by Andi Watson
Walker Books, 2013. ISBN 9781406329414.
(Age 10+) Gum Girl: Countdown to destruction is a
comic-style book and includes 3 different stories featuring Gum Girl
as its superhero. Gum Girl saves the day with bubble gum! I would
recommend this to girls who are independent readers, aged 10+.
Each story has a moral such as not wasting time, and getting along
with others, but they move quickly and are a lot of fun. The comic
illustrations are bright and engaging, helping the reader get
involved in the stories and the characters. It would be a fun read
for any reluctant reader who likes stories about girls and
superheroes.
