Author: Rashad Freeman
Format: Kindle
Genre: YA
Star Rating: 3 Stars
Synopsis:
Why do the movies always portray mutants as having some kind of glorious plight? If a kid got bit by a radioactive spider he’d probably puke webs right before he died. Men that can walk through bullets and fly don’t dress in tights and pretend to be newspaper reporters. And there are no special flashlights to shine in the air to signal you when there’s trouble. You want to be a superhero and fight crime? Prospects are unlikely at best. Chances are you’d just get sued by the criminals you arrested and put in prison for delivering your own vigilante justice.
The truth of the matter is living as a mutant is risky business. Uncontrollable outbreaks, delusions of grandeur and don’t forget the horde of scientists eager to pick you apart to figure out what makes you tick. Did you really expect a special school to crop up just to take care of all the misfortunate adolescents? Or you could create your own little team by adding Fantastic, Super, or Glorious to the front of a number. No, you wouldn’t be so lucky. And neither was Anthony Dimair, as a matter of fact, he was the exact opposite. Now he must survive long enough to find the meaning of his Uncle’s cryptic message while avoiding capture, fighting the elements, and trying to not end up as dinner.
Review:
Creature Kid book consists of 104 pages and is Volume 1 of The Teenage Chronicles by Rashad Freeman.
I read this book very quickly. I liked the storyline however I was left feeling a little disappointed as I think the book could have had more detail in it and I got a bit lost in places, I was left wondering about what happened once a certain thing happened and it felt a little rushed in parts.
If being a teenager isn’t bad enough with raging hormones and the likes, without finding out you are a mutant too, Anthony seemed to take this pretty much in his stride and didn’t hide the fact from his close friends. Would I have told my close friends? Probably not, well not straight away anyway.
I did still enjoy the book though and was the ending was left on a cliffhanger, so I would definitely read Volume 2 to see what happens and how the story progresses.
