A review by klee73010
Super Jake and the King of Chaos by Naomi Milliner
3.0
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I wanted to love this book based on the description. Unfortunately, I struggled getting through the building of the story. I'd say the last third of the book redeemed it somewhat.
Ethan is a wonderful character, and I appreciate how much we had to see him work through in the story, but as an adult, I was incredibly bored. I absolutely think this book is a wonderful gift idea for children around 8-10 years old, who are independent readers, but not something I think parents/teachers/care givers will enjoy reading along. Topics such as family values, bullying, and special needs were all touched on in this book, which made it a wonderfully relevant story and fostered understanding.
