Freddie Ramos Zooms to the Rescue

November 1, 2011

Gr 2-3-Freddie Ramos receives a pair of goggles to add to his superhero garb. Now armed with his magic shoes, wristband, and goggles, all he needs is a job, so when a purple squirrel shows up at school, Freddie knows that only Zapato Power can help him find out why the animal is such an odd color. In the process he inadvertently averts a train crash. The story is punctuated with action-packed cartoons and superhero-worthy action words scrawled across the page, giving the book appeal to reluctant readers and children just getting into chapter books. Fans of the previous titles will appreciate this continuation.-Sarah Townsend, Norfolk Public Library, VA
