Fantastic Frog and the Amazing Tad Lad
Fantastic Frog and the Amazing Tad Lad | Brandon Reese
1 post | 1 read
The explosive first book in a new middle-grade graphic novel series featuring two heroic but dim-witted frog superheroes, for fans of InvestiGators and Dog Man! No one ever said it was easy being green! The contaminated swamp where Dr. Kim conducts experiments is overrun with mutants and evil machines like the Hater Gator and the Robot Trash Dolls. That's why she tinkered with amphibian genes to create superheroes Fantastic Frog and sidekick Tad Lad. In their first adventure, the frogs leap forth to battle the scaly swamp thing terrorizing Sector 1. Will the Hater Gator's tail flails flatten this duo before they discover the truth behind what's gone rotten in their swamp? And in their second adventure, the duo stumble upon a landfill of disgusting, off-brand toys in Sector 2 . . . which come alive! Outnumbered and totally grossed out, can our heroes defeat these Robot Trash Dolls?

2.5 ⭐ I freely admit this is a DNF at 50%. I just can‘t take it anymore. Fantastic frog and amazing Ted Lad are experiments who have been given super strength and the ability to fly but share a brain between the two of them. I don‘t like how the book is constantly using putdowns like dumb and stupid. And while I get that this is for kids, it feels like a grown-up talking down to kids instead of actually getting down on kids levels. It‘s also

LibrarianRyan overly long. I do think they should have kept this shorter than 200 pages instead of having two or three stories with an intermission, it should have stopped after they finished the first mission. Because after the first mission, I could not go on anymore. I wanted to like this and somebody will. I just don‘t know who that is right now. 1w
