Doctor Strange is in trouble! Doctor Strange is the powerful Sorcerer Supreme. There is no one who can match him or his knowledge of the mystic arts in his dimension, but the Doctor does have a few downfalls. He does now get along well with others and refuses help from anyone, including the Avengers! Now, magical beasts from other dimensions are attacking New York City and Doctor Strange has no idea who is behind the assaults. After receiving wise advise from The Ancient One, Doctor Strange needs the help of his friends to save the day and stop this mysterious evil force to save New York.

While this book overall was true to what I know of the Marvel universe, the writing and story seemed to fall flat. The writing style seemed jagged towards the beginning of the book but later evens out. Doctor Strange learns that he can't do everything alone and accepts the counsel of others, a good message for everyone.

Well, this is a children's book so I'm obviously not the target audience. But I was surprised by how captivating this story is. There is action, awesome illustrations, all your favourite heroes (like Captain Marvel, Thor and Iron Man) and a valuable lesson for Stephen Strange (and everybody else) to learn. Spoiler Alert: You can't do everything alone, sometimes you need to ask for help - even if you are the Sorcerer Supreme. Thumbs up for this little book!
