It's just your typical good vs. evil picture book, starring a heroic pair of twins. They also have superpowers, magic powers.
Lottie and Mia are those twins, sometimes called "Super Twins."
The naughty bully in this tale is a new kid in school. Just how wicked is she? She throws a ball up into a tree. What a mean thing to do during recess!
Just like the plot, the reading level is geared to Grade 2.
FIVE STARS for this lively tale by Kate Ledger, with zippy illustrations by Kyla May.

I was not overly impressed by this early reader though I could see why other readers might find it charming enough. Lottie and Mia are twins with (secret) magical powers. These powers come in useful with solving every day problems the pair encounters. This second book in the series is all about a new kid at school, a boy named Max. Max is a mean bully. The book resolves very quickly, a bit too quickly in my opinion. Of course, Max isn't really a bully. He just is having a bad day. And of course, he's super cool and good friend material. The lack of characterization bothered me a bit as did the simplifying of a big problem. This one just didn't feel authentic, even without considering the magic.

Well, I can't say that the bully was a good one (he was a bully because he was shy? What?), but the concept of the book was nice. Twin girls with superpowers. Not that their superpowers had anything to do with the main point of the story.
It's like this: this bully is bothering all the kids, is mean a bunch of times, and then at the playground, tosses the kids' ball into a tree. One kid does magic tricks to distract everyone, the twins turn into superheroes, fly to the tree, come back down, turn back, then ask the bully if he wants to play. Bully says yes, he was mean because he's new and shy, and that's it.
It's not that great of a story, nor does it really tell anyone how to stop bullies.
