Quick Summary
Fans of the Young Justice animated series will recognize the team right away in this fast-paced adventure, and they'll love seeing Artemis finally get her moment to shine when the heroes face off against the powerful android Amazo. At only about 800 words, this is one of those books you can actually finish in one sitting, which makes it perfect for reluctant readers or kids who say they "don't have time to read." The short chapters and simple vocabulary (2.7 reading level) don't mean the story lacks punch though there's enough superhero action and tension to keep anyone turning pages. Younger middle graders who are just getting into chapter books will find this accessible, while older fans of the show will appreciate the quick nostalgia trip. Parents can feel good that it's wholesome superhero fun with a nice message about proving yourself, and there's nothing here that would raise eyebrows. If your kid devours this, they might also enjoy other Young Justice tie-in books or any of the DC Comics middle-grade adaptations that follow the same team.
