Personally I wouldn't worry about this type of book too much but it is short and to the point and appeals to my boys so I suppose I would be buying the whole series. On the plus side is that the book is short and only deals with one battle at a time but on the negative is that it can be a bit boring after a few of the earlier stories (but that is my thoughts not the kids). I really liked that the other person in the book was a girl (even Kai seemed surprised to find a girl in battle with him) so that shows that girls can be strong and do things the boys can do. Li bionic companion was a a cat so there was also the dog vs cat aspect to the story which helped make it a bit more funny. I know that the boys will love this book and have asked me to buy them all the books, it is helping their interest in reading so I will be on the look out for more of these books but I really wouldn't recommend reading them too close to bed time as last time I did the boys were bouncing around and acting out the battles and were too worked up to be going to sleep. |

This is the 15th book in the Boy vs Beast series and the 3rd involving mega-mutants. The book starts off with a prologue detailing how the Earth is separated from Beastium and it's the job of the Border Guards to protect Earth from the beasts that dwell there. It has a game like feel where the Border Guards progress through the ranks by battling and gaining new upgrades and battle gear. The book follows a young Border Captain and his bionic canine (battle companion) who need to form a battle team and take down a water mega-mutant. Each mutant is different with their own battling styles and skills which keeps these books from becoming repetitive. My son loved it - anything with monsters and battles and it's a win. Lots of action, lots of excitement and a bit of humour all come together to give a fun, well balanced book. It held my son's attention the entire time and with only a few black and white illustrations throughout, that's saying a lot. There's also a cool graphic style section that depicts part of the battle. The text is simple and easy to read and I would highly recommend this book for encouraging independent reading for ages 6+. I'm picky when it comes to choosing what I let my son read but this book ticks all the boxes and we'll definitely be reading it over and over again. |
