"Kid Crazy Carlson thirsts for adventure in the far-off and bustling City of Ever. One day he meets a robot that warns him of the grumpy Kilowatt King that rules there―who forces people to sing for him. Despite the robot’s warning, Kid decides to make the voyage to the city and the two travel in a car made of bread through candy bar men, robot travelers, and dancing elephants to reach their destination. Finally, Kid stands before the sour King Kilowatt and teaches him a lesson in manners: the value of the word “please.”
Usually my girls aren't into comic book style books, but when I showed them the digital copy I was sent to review, they were intrigued and wanted me to read it to them.
This book is not like any I have shared with the girls. For one the illustrations were unique and truly made the story more enjoyable and lifelike. And, while at times the story had a rhyming feel, it would flow differently in spots. But, the girls didn't mind. They were too caught up in the illustrations and seeing what Kid and Denuzio Spatta, his robot friend.
Both of my girls giggled when they saw Kid and the robot riding along in a car made of bread. They said, "That is silly," but with the bizarre landscape of the City of Ever, riding in a car of bread fits right in. Can you imagine dancing elephants, robot travelers or even candy bar men? Well book contains all of these and then some.
The storyline is simple Kid Crazy has to be careful of grumpy Kilowatt King, then enemy in the story. But, when he comes face to face with the enemy, what will happen? Will Kid Crazy be able to teach the Kilowatt King a lesson -- in this case, the importance of the word, "Please?"
Can you believe this book has 72 pages? This is more pages than the girls are used to sitting and having me read with them. But, you don't notice this when you start reading the book as you find yourself getting lost in the world of City of Ever and rooting for Kid Crazy to save the day and teach Kilowatt King a lesson. Hats off to Caludio Sanchez for his first book release. And, my girls and I are so hoping for more books in what I hope is a long-running series of Kid Crazy books.

You don't have to be a fan of comics to enjoy this book. You just have an imagination you are willing to explore with as you read this fun story.
