THE LEAGUE OF SUPERHEROES Reviewed By Bill McGrath Being a writer I like to give books as gifts, especially
to young people, hoping to encourage them to choose reading as a legitimate form
of entertainment over an electronic gizmo. Therefore, a few years ago, when I
found myself looking for a birthday present for my twelve year old niece, I went
in search of an appropriate book. The book I found was "Maximum Ride",
the first of James Patterson's Angel Experiment novels. The heroine in these
stories is Max, a fourteen-year-old girl and leader of a group of kids who have
escaped the clutches of an evil corporation which had genetically altered them
to have wings and the capacity for flight. There is lots of action and
adventure, but also plenty of interpersonal issues that should appeal to a
twelve-year-old girl. My niece absolutely loved the book and went on to read the
whole series. I remember thinking at the time that I needed to find a
novel of similar quality that boys would enjoy; primarily something with a young
male hero (in my experience, boys are much more likely to demand a protagonist
of their own gender than are girls). Well,
I have just read a novel that meets those requirements, The League of
Superheroes by Stephen L. Rice. The League of Superheroes (LOS) is an action-packed
sci-fi novel that tells the story of four boys in their early teens who learn of
a mysterious girl called "Genie" who is both a damsel in distress and
a super genius capable of designing suits that give the boys all the super
powers of their comic book heroes. The boys are tasked with using their newly acquired
superhero status to rescue Genie from the evil corporation that holds her
prisoner. Along the way the boys learn to hold firm in their Christian faith and
fight without compromising their morals. As you follow the action-adventure
plot, you will find scenes of redemption, loyalty and personal sacrifice. This
is a story parents will want their sons to read. If you know a boy in the preteen years who needs a good
novel to read on a winter day, then I highly recommend you get him The League of
Superheroes by Stephen L. Rice. The League of Superheroes is available on the
publisher’s website: http://www.thewriterscafepress.com/los.html
for just $9.99, plus shipping.
It can also be found on Amazon.com
