From Kirkus Reviews: "n a funny, warmly romantic tale from Howe (Shoot for the Moon, 1992, etc.) an impulsive decision leads an average teenager into fulfilling his desire to be “Secret champion of the underdog, modest seeker of truth, fearless innovator of the unknown.” David, after announcing on his 16th birthday that he’s officially naming himself after a comic book hero, is catapulted into a string of situations requiring quick, clever action, from a killer bee attack on the principal to the impending demise of the privately funded school newspaper due to [an] illustration." I first read The Adventures of Blue Avenger because it had a picture of a superhero on the front and a cool title, but it is a really deep book! It's about a teenage boy who decided to change his name to "Blue Avenger" because he saw a lot of hurt in the world and wanted to make a difference. The main theme of the book, though, is how he wonders where everything that happens is predestined or whether we really have free will. It is open-ended about that part, leaving it up to the reader to decide what he/she thinks. It is an enjoyable read with a lot of character development and relationships between characters. David Schumacher wakes up on his 16th birthday determined to make a difference in the world. No more trying to fit in and be like everyone else. Because he knows he is absolutely unique. And so, David decides to change his name. His new name? the Blue Avenger. When he changes his name, things start to happen. David becomes a hero, meets an equally extraordinary girl, begins his effort to bake the perfect lemon merangue and drives his guidance couselor crazy. If you like quirky books and don't like the ordinary, this book is for you. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
