Et Si J'avais Vraiment Des Superpouvoirs? (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was very funny and very accurate to what would happen in real life. This book explains how Jamie, the main character, got bit by a baby that her friend was baby sitting. She then gets a challenge from her friend that if she loses at playing bottle throw, she has to kiss a guy. She then brings up hoe she has a superpower but her friend does not cancel the challenge and she herself tries to get bitten by a guy too. At the end, the two girls figure out the the superpowers were fake. Her daily entries in her diary are really funny, and the illustrations can help you picture things better and can show you more funny jokes. I love this series and I hope I can read the whole series. This book is one of the BEST Jim Benton books so far. At least that's what I think. In this one Jamie convinces herself that she has super powers. Super powers of sensing what boys think and Jamie thinks that she is actually turning into a boy. Kicking someone in the face is rather boyish, don't you think. And, the winter festival is coming to Jamie's middle school and boys and girls are asking each other to "hang out". So now, Jamie can put her boyish senses to good use. Or she could completely and totally fail and walk away in humiliation. Like I said, the best one yet. You should read it to confirm your agreement. (or unlikley disagreement).
What do You think about Et Si J'avais Vraiment Des Superpouvoirs? (2011)?
These books are so funny, especially because they're not too far from reality. I think my favorite part is how Jamie really thinks she understands everything that's going on, yet the reader can see right through that and know that she's in error. It takes a pretty good writer to pull that off. (And, if you're looking for a learning moment for your child, you can hope reading this will help a reader realize that everyone can misunderstand situations... though the target audience is actually unlikely to generalize it as far as to themselves.)
