Book Description:
Templeton Academy- the superhero high school is finally open! The prestigious institution is recruiting the best of the best to enroll in its student body. The school is as mysterious as it is exclusive.
Grady Whill thinks there is nothing special about him to make the grade. However, his best friend, Aarush Patel has been selected and thinks Grady has the right stuff. Even school bully Elwood Bledsoe is attending.
If Grady is fortunate enough to be picked, his guardian has forbidden him to attend. Will a family secret prevent Grady from becoming the superhero he was destined to be?
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Grady was orphaned a at young age with the death of his parents and was raised by his grandparents. After their death, he was raised by his young uncle Leo. Not connecting with many people in middle school, Grady found Aarush to be a good friend for him. The book unfortunately deals will a topic I really hate for kids and that is bullying. I lost a 12 year old distant cousin, who took her own life to bullying so it is something I hate among kids. But thankfully for Grady and Aarush formed a friendship that lasted through middle school to high school at the interesting super hero high school Templeton Academy.
I enjoyed this story so very much. I enjoyed following Grady and Aarush as they tackled what school thew at them. I was impressed with their intelligence, and it was fun keeping up with the two friends. If you enjoy these type of clesn Young Adult stories, I highly recommended Grady Whill and the Templeton Codex. And if you have tweens or teens who enjoy YA Fantasy and Super Hero stories, this is a fantastic one to purchase for them. I’m giving this one Five Stars.
Narrator Dan McGowan does a very nice job with this book. The voice fit the story and anyone listening will get the feel of high school age kids. I look forward to listening to more book which <span;>Dan McGowan is the narrator.
