have fun with philosophy, and a very cool superhero
An excellent book about a remarkable young hero, who is grappling with the old philosophical problem of free will. If every event has a cause, then how can we be free? And if we are not free, then how can we be held morally responsible? This book, more successful, I think, than the second in the series (though that was still far superior to most teen fiction out there), illustrates this problem ...

The Best of a Genre
I love Norma Howe's books. And this, the third in her series of "Blue Avenger" novels for young adults, provides plenty of thought-fodder. Reading this book doesn't necessarily force the reader into a contemplatative state... it entices it, teases it forth from that part of the reader's mind that is too often lulled into a stupor when reading books aimed at younger readers. Norma Howe will ...

It makes Shakespeare much more interesting. And its fun to read. Wow!
This book works well as a sequel to 'the Adventures of Blue Avenger,' it picks up more or less where 'adventures' ended, but is clearly its own story. I'm not going to give much away, but it involves a trip to Europe, a historical mystery, Shakespeare, and yes, a code to be cracked. Part of the story is based on 'the Merchant of Venice.' The themes of personal integrity and helpfulness are ...

A Good Book
Out of all Norma Howe's books, "In With the Out Crowd" is my favorite. I liked the book because the characters and the plot are very realistic and exciting. In the book, Robin realizes she doesn't fit in with her friends anymore. They have all changed for the worse. Robin reminds me of myself because my friends changed, too. This book will teach you an important lesson: there is more to life than ...

She goes through her 16th year with the memory of an incident of a blender and strawberries. Using this one incident, the whole randomness of life is slowly revealed to us. Through many happenings, Cairo realizes that ...
