My 7 year old son read this book. He thought it was good. I think the reading level is on par, he know most of the words, but struggled occasionally, which I think is good for him to get more practice. As far as the story, it was a good background story.
My eight year old daughter is obsessed with DC Comics. These back story books on Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman are fantastic. They are a 5.8 reading level and AR test eligible.
