About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is transitioning from early readers to longer chapter books and needs a high-energy story that rewards their persistence. It is an ideal choice for children who are focused on clear distinctions between right and wrong and who find comfort in predictable hero-versus-villain narratives where justice always prevails. The story follows Barry Allen, the Flash, as he protects Central City from the vengeful Captain Boomerang. Beyond the super-speed chases, the book touches on themes of resilience and the importance of remaining calm under pressure. At 56 pages with frequent illustrations, it provides a manageable challenge for elementary readers, building their confidence through a familiar, fast-paced world where bravery is celebrated and the hero is a steadfast role model.
