I like Boffin Boy and the Wizard of Edo because the Wizard of Edo kidnaps two of the best scientists with a camera that puts them in a computer...

This is a great adventure story, written a bit like a comic book.


This book’s about a boy who’s a super hero and faces battles against invaders monsters and ninjas. A professor was showing his new invention to the town when a mysterious man came to take his picture - then the professor passed out. A man called Colonel Bullet shows Boffin Boy and his friend Wu Pee the picture of the man that caused the problem. Boffin and Wu Pee were talking on the phone then there’s a flash on the phone - it was the same man.


I recommend this book for boys who are comic book readers, don’t like reading much and like a good joke.
