Electrigirl and the Deadly Swarm by Jo Cotterill and Cathy Brett #bookreview


Book review: I got this for my nearly 10-year-old daughter. She read the first book in the series about a year ago and absolutely loved it so getting this was a no-brainer.

This book brings back some of the same characters from the previous, including of course the evil Professor Macavity, and includes some new characters too, with useful introductory profiles at the beginning of the book. 

This time Holly, the main character aka Electrigirl, goes on vacation only to discover that Professor Macavity has hatched a new scheme hiding a deadly swarm of robotic insects that sting you and give you a love for danger. Holly sets out to destroy them all, but there are too many. Will she succeed?

My daughter liked the story, the pictures - which included comic style parts for some of the dramatic parts of the story just like in the first book, and that the hero is a girl. Indeed most of the characters are female - this book has some true girl power!
