The BookViral Review:
The Subatomic Kid: Adventures In The Antiworld proves an intriguing release for George Parker and a timely reminder that YA Adventure novels are here to stay.
Parker’s story is an idea with endless possibilities, but the problem with many superhero novels is that they come across as rather two dimensional when compared to their on-screen counterparts. This certainly isn’t the case here.
A whimsical, fantastic excursion to another dimension – Parker keeps the momentum going while keeping readers glued with suspense, action and twists. In many ways, it’s indicative of a subgenre that’s ever-increasing in popularity and yet it’s no cliché.
Parker knows how to excite and involve his readers and doesn’t want us to simply read, but to feel, wonder and also dream.
Built on archetypal plot strands that tie together oh so well The Subatomic Kid benefits from a clever plot that is relatively straightforward in its execution whilst the metaphysical aspects of Parker’s tale will leave many readers reflecting on what holds us back from being what we really want to be.
Largely avoiding superficial scenarios and unnecessary drama he doesn’t delve too deeply into the moral or thematic implications of John’s newfound powers, he simply portrays the challenges that John encounters while he possesses them and on this level, it’s a winning concept.
Of course, the suspension of disbelief is a requisite, but Parker’s young protagonists always feel real as they attempt to make sense of events in which they find themselves embroiled and it makes for a rip roaring read!
Refreshingly different and hugely entertaining The Subatomic Kid is a novel with broad appeal and is sure to find an enthusiastic following for Parker’s Adventures In The Antiworld. It is highly recommended!
Cleverly plotted, beautifully characterized, dark and utterly compelling it’s clear from the start that Wojciechowski knows how to weave an intriguing narrative and she is quick to hit her stride to give us a haunting and idiosyncratic read with a savvy emotional payoff about taking chances and moving forward.
Kathleen Boucher builds on her previous success with her new confidence-building journal ‘Nine Ways to Empower Tweens #lifeskills’. Following on from her previous award-winning books for younger children, Boucher gives accessible and motivational advice on continuing the journey of life towards positivity and success.
In our quest for an answer to the question ‘’Why do we love Superheroes?’’, we wanted to gain the perspective of ‘’we’’- the humans, and the psychology behind why we are drawn to these recognisable but otherworldly creatures.
It’s a question that’s courted more than a little controversy over the years, but there’s a significant difference between paying for a book review with no influence over the resulting review and paying for a review that is guaranteed to be overwhelmingly favourable,
What makes a memoir so alluring? After all, they are not generally stuffed full with action, suspense, romance or mystery, which provide the highs and lows or other literature.
A child’s imagination is a wonderful thing. The suspension of disbelief comes easy to them. As we get older we think in terms of our willingness to suspend our critical faculties and believe something surreal whilst sacrificing realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.
