Book Description

9 and up4 and upOwlboy
One day, using the magical passage that will take him to Monstros City, Billy forgets to close the door to the crypt, and is followed by . . . Victoria. Oh, no. Victoria is Billy's neighbor, his constant shadow, and a huge pain in the butt. Worse, Monstros City seems to exaggerate the traits people have in Bradbury—and Victoria arrives in Monstros with something that Billy and Archebold name the Destructo Touch. Owlboy is supposed to protect Monstros City—but has he just introduced the agent of its destruction?

5.0 out of 5 stars Zap to It, September 20, 2008
This review is from: Owlboy: The Girl with the Destructo Touch (Paperback)
Ever had a little sister or younger neighbor? Yeah, the girl next door isn't always the stuff of romantic comedies. Sometimes, she's a pain in the neck!

Billy Hooten has to deal with Victoria, his next-door-neighbor. She's a sweet kid sometimes, sure, but when she tags after him or asks him a bunch of questions, she can be kinda annoying. Billy's secret identity as Owlboy, a superhero who protects Monstros City, is just that - a secret from all of his friends and family - until Victoria follows him underground and develops powers of her own! Uh-oh. Never trust a kid with the Destructo Touch.

This is the second book in the Owlboy series by Thomas E. Sniegoski and Eric Powell. Sniegoski provides the words; Powell, the cool black-and-white illustrations. I frequently recommend this series to kids, especially young boys who are reluctant to pick up a novel but love reading comic books. The Girl with the Destructo Touch has just as much punch and funny bits as the first book in the series. I've always thought it would be fun to have telekinesis or some kind of zapping power!
