This book is a cross between Spider-Man and Iron Giant. You have Zack Allen, a boy who is very smart and makes his own robot to help save the world. The adventures are perfect for the elementary school set and lots of kids are going to find it fun and crazy. What I find lacking is diversity. There is no reason for all the characters in this book to be cisgendered and white. There are bullies, there are the smart kids, there are they not so smart kids, and there’s adventure, but in this day and age we need more than that.
