Why be normal when you can be superlative? | Captain Superlative Book Chat

Making Fantasies Come True: One Story at a Time… Why be normal when you can be superlative? Book Chat about Captain Superlative by J.S. Puller. Back in September, I was able to finish reading another amazing middle grade story called Captain Superlative by J.S. Puller. I loved this book. It was a hard-hitting book that made me cry due to the ghost in Janey Silverman’s life. This book shows life as a middle school student who simply wants to fade into the background. Which I completely understand, I wanted to be a fly on the wall in middle school and high school. But my personality is so bold and loud that my plan failed. But this only happened after my school consolidated because at my previous school I was bullied a lot and I was probably a little more hidden or viewed as a target, but once the consolidation, I was intimidating to people until they saw my goofy side. So, my plan to be a fly on the wall was a complete failure, which I got from my mother. Anyways back to the story… Captain Superlative is a middle grade superhero story, which unlike the Marvel and DC universes that have superpowered or alien superheroes. In Captain Superlative, the superhero is someone who wants to make a change in the world by doing good… no matter how small those things are. This story dealt with bullying and showed how hurt people hurt people and how reliable and trustworthy people are able to make a change even when everyone else ignores the issues or doesn’t see it. Now this story also has to deal with grief, death, anxiety, and peer pressure. So, it has all the key points of a great middle grade story that can be relatable to people of all ages. I loved the way this story began and ended with the same setting but under different circumstances. Overall, this story was amazing, and I was able to connect with the characters, which I don’t know who I connected with more, the dad or Captain Superlative. If you have read Captain Superlative, why don’t you tell me who you relate with the most? And if you have read Captain Superlative, leave a superhero emoji to help support me. For my next middle grade read, I am reading Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis which is a historical fiction set in a town where there are runaway slaves, and the main character is the first free-born baby born to two former slaves. This book has already hit a hard-hitting topic dealing with the n-word and the idea of Familiarity Breeds Contempt, which I feel like is something that needs to be taught in schools. But that is all I got to say, I will have links to the books here and to let you know I am not an affiliate with Amazon, this is just where I pick my books up at. My next video is going to be Week 7 of my 160-Day Challenge and once I finish Elijah of Buxton, I will have another book chat on it. I thank you for joining this journey and remember to keep making fantasies come true, one story at a time… and I will see you next time… bye. (Finished) Captain Superlative by J.S.
