Review

This is Ahn Do doing what he does best! This fantastic new graphic novel series is full of crazy, fun situations that readers will love.


On the train to go into the Kung Fu competition at the fair, Kai, Harry and Charley are ready for action. But not this kind of action!


The train is being train-jacked when it is hit by a meteor. When Kai wakes up in hospital two days later, he discovers that he can understand what the kangaroos are saying, he wants to eat grass in fact, he can turn into a part human part kangaroo ... His friends have a similar problem, with Harry now part hippopotamus and Charley is part dog!


After fighting a gang robbing a jewellery store, they realise that they could use their new talents to become an awesome group of superheroes.


This is a terrific new graphic novel series that will entertain young readers. The story and pictures are wonderful and it will leave those aged six to ten waiting eagerly for the next instalment.
