Mia Mayhem Is a Superhero!
by Kara West
I bought the first Mia Mayhem books from the series for my seven-year-old granddaughter for Christmas and I thought I would read them all before they get wrapped up and sent off. I’ll be anxious to see what she thinks of them, but will give my thoughts on them here.
First off, my granddaughter is a fan of superheroes, so I think she’ll have fun reading about Mia and her adventures.
I like that Mia is an ordinary young girl who makes mistakes. She accidentally breaks things, struggles with self-confidence, and loses things. Mia recognizes when she has made a mess and works to set tidy up the situation. She doesn’t always succeed the first time. But she persists and learns how to be calm and think. In the end she reflects on her struggles, sees what she has accomplished, and learns that she can be successful when she sets her mind to it
I like that the cast of characters is representative of a multicultural society. Both males and females, young and old, and racially diverse; a handicapped girl is even included. Mia has a friend when we meet her in the first book and she makes friends (Penn Powers and Allie Oomph) in the chapters that follow.
I found the names of some of characters to be quite entertaining: Dr. Su Perb, Professor Stu Pendus, Professor Dina Myte, Allie Oomph, Dr. Dash, Hugo Fast and a cat name Chaos.
The illustrations are great and really add to the story.
