About the author

his is the part I'm always the worst at—talking about myself! So as you've figured out, my name is Elizabeth Rudnick and I'm a young adult author. I'm also a Senior Editor at Disney Press in New York City. I've edited books based on movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and Prince of Persia as well as Miley Cyrus's memoir, Miles to Go, which was a New York Times bestseller (imagine if Tweet Heart was too!) and a total blast to work on.

When I'm not working, I live in Connecticut with a big mutt named Jack Dyson (because he has the ability to suck up anything in his way) and have a habit of watching hours of mindless television. I like to think of it as research!

[Neko · Rating 3 out of 5]

So, this book does a little bit of an introduction as to who Captain America is. The illustrations in this book are taken from the TV show so basically they are stills from the show and not unique to the book - this isn't something I personally enjoy but for a quick read to a child who loves the show and/or loves Captain America then they probably won't be as fussy.

The story is basically about Captain America fighting HYDRA and one of the nasty leaders known as Red Skull!

Brian says this is a good book. It is about war and he didn't like RedSkull because he is a bad guy.
