Gr 4–6—Bethany and Owen have sworn not to go into the fictional world anymore. It is dangerous, and the evil Nobody, the man without a face, has threatened them if they come back. But when Bethany discovers a mysterious man watching her house, she is determined to track him down and find out why. And she just needs a few tools from the fictional world to help her. When Bethany and Owen arrive at the man's house, they find a portal into a comic book world and several superheroes and supervillains, one of whom just might be Bethany's dad. Riley doesn't disappoint in this thrilling continuation of the series.
VERDICT Full of pithy puns, plays on words, and lots of action, this latest installment is sure to please fans.
