This second book in the series has charmed both kids and adults alike with its smooth blend of humor, adventure, and real issues like facing fears, being tempted to give up, and coming back after making a mess of things. After finding a magic ring inside a specially-marked box of cereal, a boy named Kyle Alexander becomes “Cockroach” the Superhero—his superhero name coming from a dangerous criminal who mocks him.
When a fifth-grade teacher did a class read aloud, the teacher was impressed and kids raved:
“Your story is awesome. I bet you could win a medal for this amazing book!” – Alizah
“This book was sooo good! Please write another!” -- Danie
“Love it! Amazing!” Kira
After blundering his way into capturing the infamous criminal Rocky the Rat, Kyle soon becomes disillusioned. His magic ring fails him when a bully threatens him and his best friend, Carlos. Through his superhero mentor, Cockroach learns that his ring doesn’t give him brute strength, but more subtle powers. In fact, his “trickster” ring makes him more powerful than the mightiest superhero—but only if he is able to discover the ring’s secret and unlock its powers. Carlos and Kyle try desperately to find how to access those powers, even as Kodiak Bearenski and the Grizzly Bear Gang are out to hurt superheroes.
As a kid thrust into a world of adults, Cockroach takes direction and encouragement from his new superhero friends—and incurs the wrath of another. But unfortunately, as he faces some of the worst criminals in the city, he has strong doubts as to whether the magic ring is really on his side.
Cockroach is a superhero for a new age. Cockroach the Superhero are chapter books for kids from motivated third grade readers up to seventh grades—plus adults up to the age of 98. Available on Amazon and discounted at the author’s website: www.thunderboltstories.com
