John has always been different. Bullies have always targeted him. Not now. Great Aunt Sarah shares a special secret using the magic of voodoo; with his new power, John is able to teach the bullies about getting what they deserve.
Hey, just because I'm in my thirties doesn't mean I can't read a kid's book!
Seriously though, the best kid's stories can also be enjoyed by adults and this is no different.
I don't have kids myself but I would definitely get this for them to read if I did. It's a fun story about a boy who has a hard time with bullies and even the nanny who looks after him. The fun really starts when his Aunt Sarah gives him a special power to help deal with the bullies.
Like I said earlier, the best kid's stories really can be enjoyed by adults and I took great delight in how John used his new powers against his foes! The sick and twisted part of my brain couldn't help but imagine some very violent scenarios in which these powers could be used! Hey, maybe R.S. Russo could give us an adult themed sequel called Voodoo Man with lots of blood and guts!!
This book is perfect for kids though and John never abuses his powers and a good moral message is put across to the reader by the end of the book. This is a fun, short read and perfect to pass an hour away!
The story is cute and one that discourages bullying in schools, which is a very serious issues. Its fun to read and easy to follow. The kids who get bullied would love this book. Probably best suited for preteens.
