The Comic Book Kid

When they are given an unusual comic book that allows them to travel in time, twelve-year-old Brian hopes that he and his friend will be able to replace his father's valuable Superman comic that Brian had ruined years before.

"This is a very entertaining book. Students who like "super heroes" or comic books will find this a very good book. It centers around two main characters, Brian and Paul, who are best friends. They have a magical time-travel experience involving the use of a comic book. The book will hold a student's interest, and the ending is appropriate." --The Lorgnette, Heart of Texas Reviews

"Twelve-year-old Brian has lived with "IT" for a long time. "IT" is an event that occurred when he was seven. Brian found his Dad's valuable copy of the first Superman comic book and accidentally spilled punch on it. When the owner of the local general store slips Brian and his friend Paul a ring that enables them to travel through time, they decide to go into the past to obtain another original edition of the prized comic book. This simple mission turns into an exciting adventure as the two boys travel thousands of years into the past and hundreds of years into the future. In the end, Brian discovers that no matter how hard you try, you can't change the past. He does, however, have an exciting story to tell for his homework assignment." --Children's Literature
