MY TAKE:

I didn't really find the first DC Super Pets book I read to be super interesting, but I'm glad that I gave this book a try.

Deep-Sea Duel is an action-adventure book featuring Aquaman, Aqualad, Mera, Nicoletta and their super pets. The super pets in this one are super cute and have awesome powers. My favorite super pet is Fluffy the Goldfish, although Betty the Beluga whale is a cutie too.

The story flows pretty seamlessly, and maybe partly because it's set in the sea, I kept thinking about Spongebob Squarepants. The story is easy for kids to understand and read, but it isn't brainless by any means so even adults will like reading this.

Thanks to NetGalley and Picture Window Books for the e-ARC. Publication date of Deep-Sea Duel is on August 1, 2012.

THE GOOD:

1. The story would make a good cartoon plot.
2. The characters are interesting.
3. There's a list of vocabulary words at the back.

THE BAD:

1. It's a little bit short.

FAVORITE QUOTE/S:

They covered long tables with mouth-watering meals.

READ IT IF:

1. You like cute pets.
2. You like comic books.
3. You have a child who wants to graduate to reading longer books.
