The team behind DC Comics LIL' GOTHAM takes readers to the halls of Ducard Academy in Gotham City, where a young Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman start their very own Junior Detective Agency! Young Bruce Wayne is the new kid at Ducard Academy, a prep school for gifted middle school students. Bruce finds out pretty quickly that he doesn't fit in: the faculty seems to not just encourage villainous behavior from its students, but reward it. He makes friends with two other outsiders, farm boy Clark Kent and the regal Diana Prince. The three band together to form a detective squad to find out why all of these extraordinary kids have been brought together at Ducard Academy, and to see just what the faculty is plotting. An all-new series from the Eisner-nominated team behind Batman Lil' Gotham (Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs), Secret Hero Society uses comics, journal entries, and doodles to reimagine Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman as three students in the same school. They'll try their best to solve their case, but just because you're faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, or an ian princess, it doesn't mean you get to stay up past eleven.

My ten-year-old son is crazy about this book. He loves anything to do with superheroes, whether books or toys, and this book is a good fit for his age and grade in school. It's a thick book, 176 pages, but it is not a normal chapter book. The pages are a sequence of graphic novel (comics) layout, text messages between characters, newspaper ads, memos, notes, weather reports, student evaluation reports, journal entries, notes, posters, etc. You read through everything and it tells the story.The story is based on three superheroes who are kids: Batman (Bruce), Superman (Clark), and Wonder Woman (Diana). They notice something fishy going on at their private school (Ducard Academy), and they work together to solve the case. When Bruce starts school (he is the new kid), some of the things Alfred tells him to take to school are infrared and night vision goggles, military-grade stealth suit with grappling hook, portable chem lab, computer with advanced facial recognition software, and pudding cups (chocolate peanut butter). The high-tech stuff is mixed with kid-style humor.Any young reader who likes superheroes, detectives, spies, or secret societies will love the concept of the book. The low-text, high-graphics ratio of the pages will appeal to reluctant readers but won't seem "below level" to more advanced readers--a hard combo to achieve! Flipping through the book, I don't think that it ever specifies exactly how old the three kids are, or what grade they're in, so this is helpful in appealing to a range of ages of readers--each reader can assume that the characters are his/her own age.We can't wait for book #2 in the series!
Bought this book for my nephew, but as a librarian, the story premise & format makes a child want to read. This book is fun & the beginning of superheroes coming together as middle school students. This book will make your child want to read more books & this series.
Summary: Young Bruce Wayne is looking forward to starting school at the prestigious Ducard Academy, but right from the first day, everyone seems incredibly mean, even the teachers. He does manage to befriend two kids who are having similar struggles, a boy named Clark Kent and a girl named Diana Prince. Together, they try to investigate the dark secrets of their new school and who is behind them. The story is told through comics, letters, journal entries, school forms, and texts. With the school mystery solved by the end, Bruce’s mention of an upcoming camp visit hints at a sequel. 176 pages; ages 8-12.Pros: Reluctant readers will flock to this book about the young Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. The variety of formats (graphic novel, letters, texts, etc.) makes it an interesting and fast-paced read.Cons: The story was a little more complex than I was expecting, and the different types of text could make it a bit confusing.
So like most parents I struggle to get my son to read more. He would rather watch TV or play video games. I can relate because I was the same way. I took notice to what games he has been playing and what games he has been playing. Most if not all of them have to do with comic book heroes. So I figured that I would take a chance and buy a book that has his favorite characters in the story. To say that I was pleased with the results would be an under statement. He started the book on a Saturday morning and he was done the entire book around lunch time. I asked him how it was and he said it was great and then proceeded to tell me in detail most parts of the book. So if your kid is in to comic book heroes I would recommend that you give this book a try.
Okay, I just have to start out by saying that my son, whom absolutely hates reading (He is Autistic), I mean will not read under any circumstances without having a melt down, loves this book. I forced him to do some reading and at first it was not a pretty picture but once he started he could not stop. In fact we had to take a picture of him reading because he actually started reading this book without being prompted and without having any sort of melt down. He finished this book in, no kidding, two days. I really wish that there were more books out there like this one because if there were I would buy every single one of them. I will be buying any future books in this serious for sure!
The perfect follow-up to anyone who loved Nguyen's adorable art in Lil' Gotham. This is a great book for kids but very readable and fun for adults who like these characters as well. School-age Diana is a DELIGHT.
I just bought this book for my 10-year-old and he LOVES it. The story is so cute and very creative. The book is written in a comic book format and is easy to read for the young comic enthusiast like my son. Highly recommended.
A fun book for young readers. If you've new to DC Comic characters or a long time fan you will enjoy the adventures of Bruce, Clark and Diana as well as their alter egos. The story consists of very little prose, but is actually made up journal entries, chat messages, flyers and any number of other graphics. Well put together!
