For me this was pretty meh but I can see kids loving this book. Planning on watching the movie adaptation with my kids soon but wanted to preview the book.
This falls between a 3.5 and 4 on the star scale.
Superpowers via near-death experience with a vacuum cleaner? Sure, why not! If superpowers were only to be had by likely methods then nobody would wear their safety glasses during chem lab. And one of the superpowers is writing poetry? HELL YES! Because I truly think that writing a beautiful or moving piece of poetry is akin to a superpower.
I didn't like the character of William Spiver at all, but the delightful Mrs. Tickham and Dr. Meescham more than made up for him.
This was a very enjoyable and funny book. I liked the subtleness of the messages in the story and recommend this as a fun book to read.
