From Me:
I love how this series has students who are superheroes. Gwen gets that famous class assignment of taking care of an egg. Gwen thinks she is all set for this big responsibility since she is a superhero, but it isn't as easy as she thinks especially when she happens on some villains trying to sell a rare bird and her egg. Ghost-Spider saves the bird a couple of times but there is an egg mix-up and more.
I love the play on words with the unbreakable mission and a few egg jokes and of course that she has to save a bird and her egg. The story is fun and easy to read. I can see beginning readers enjoying this book. Plus of course fans of Spiderman will love the series. Spiderman makes an appearance in this book.
The story is action packed and fun. The pictures make it easy to follow all the action. There is a lot of quick thinking on Gwen's part and kids will find it an easy story to enjoy and read on their own. This series is a fun one to get kids excited about reading!
