Super Ace and the Rotten Robots: Level 2

Super Ace

by Cheryl Crouch, Matt Vander Pol

Space hero Super Ace is called to planet Roop because the planet’s robots are making messes, being mean, and ruining everything. The planet is in chaos! Super Ace tries to use his super powers (strength and good looks) to make the robots obey him, but no matter what he tries, the robots are still bad. The planet leader turns to sidekick Ned, and Super Ace laughs. But Ned uses his God-given wisdom to discover that the main switch at Robot Control has been bumped. The lever that should point to Good now points to Bad. That’s why the robots are bad. They can’t choose how to act, like people can. Ned moves the lever to Good, and the robots begin to clean up the mess and help people again. This level-two I Can Read book uses engaging characters and a simple plot to build children’s confidence as they discover the joy of reading independently.

I did not like Super Ace at all. He's extremely arrogant and annoying. And, for a book series that claims to be "faith based", having the main character be conceited, violent, and constantly belittling his sidekick doesn't bring that to the table very well.

Speaking of Sidekick Ned, he was my favorite character in this story. He was calm, collected, and strong within his faith. He was a fun and helpful character.
