this story is about a superhero called Boffin Boy and he has a freind called Wu Pee. Wu Pee is a wizard and he just went and joined a gang of bandits in the forest. Boffin Boy thought it was highly out of the ordinary so he went to investigate by disguising himself as a delivery man. but little did Boffin Boy know ***** (Editor: we can't reveal the rest of the story!)


There are 3 main characters Boffin Boy, Wu Pee and Red Wolf, these characters aren't very beliveable because superheros don't exist. My favourite character is boffin boy because he is heroic and cool. me and boffin boy are alike in some ways such as i'm cool he is cool and we will both help a freind in need.


my favorite part of the book is near the end of the book when boffin boy tricks the bandits into thinking that he is dead using DEATH PILLS so he can escape from the bandits of the wood.


this book should have a lot more captions, more speech MORE PAGES why are there only THIRTY PAGES

This book is very good. It has a really good back story. I really enjoyed It, and it had a lot of action and conflict between two friends and the pictures are really good.

I think it's a very good illustrated book, they are colurful pictures. It's got very good action. I also like adventurous books so I like the genre. The thing I don't like about this book is that it has no humorous parts in it.
