review 1: It would be bad to tell a kid they should read this book because it's charming. So I won't. But it is. Tucker is a normal 7th grader who takes care of his younger brother because his single mom is either working or in college classes. They have a great sticky note way of communicating. There is this girl in combat boots who is an irritation. Sam. Anyway, he decides to enter a contest to create a comic book sidekick for a popular series to win a college scholarship. Just a fun read.
review 2: A lot has changed in Tucker MacBean`s life lately. His parents are divorced. Tucker’s dad moved to Boston. Tucker, his mother, and younger, special-needs brother, Beech, moved into a cheap second floor apartment. Tucker`s mother works and attends college full-time; she is
... more now more of a rumor than a parent in the house. But Tucker hasn`t changed. He still buys every new issue of the comic book featuring his hero, H2O, the day it arrives in the comic shop. Then Tucker discovers that H2O could really help his family. There`s a contest to decide H2O`s new sidekick and the prize would mean a lot for Tucker`s family. But how can Tucker win it when he has to care for his brother after school? Can Tucker avoid the angry Sam Zawicki after she throws his new comic book issue into a puddle? Will he find the heart of a hero and win the contest? This funny illustrated story might just be your new favorite! less
