His favorite one is called The Masked Mutant. It's about an evil supervillain who's out to rule the universe! #25 "He's no superhero. He's a supervillain!" Skipper is a huge comic book nerd. His most favorite comic to read is one called The Masked Mutant which is about a supervillain out to gain control the universe. But one day when Skipper gets lost and finds a strange building that looks a lot like the one in his comics suddenly the books seem to jump right off the page... literally! Thrills and chills.... This is actually one of the Goosebump books I enjoyed more than I thought I would, and definitely one arguably more applicable now than it was when it first came out. While, yes, comic books saw a sharp rise in popularity in the 90s I'd argue they're even more popular now (or at least more prevalent) due to the MCU and DCU, cartoons, figurines, and simple omnipresence through current culture. And what's this book? Well, a fun little romp through the WHAT IF A COMIC WAS REAL scenario that is just a bit overdone in any comic book reader's imagination. Half the fun of this book was the sheer silliness of the heroes. The Molecular Mutant. The Galloping Gazelle. The sheer overpowered nature of the villain and the absurd scenarios in the books. I'm not gonna lie, I loved it, it captured the campiness perfectly note for note. Very fun book, if not truly a creepy one. Attack of the Masked Mutant is a great R.L Stine chapter book for kids. This book is grade appropriate for children in second to fifth grade. The book revolves around a young kid named Skipper Matthews who journeys into a super villians evil lair. Skipper Is a chubby child who has an enormous love for comics books. One day after missing his bus stop he finds what appears to be the building depicted his favorite comic “The Masked Mutant”. Skipper is startled at his discovery and tells his friends who convince him that it’s likely the author saw the building and modeled the one in the comic after it. Skipper returns a couple days later to find that the building has vanished. Later this day Skipper receives the newest issue of the masked mutant and finds a depiction of himself finding the lair, he also learns that the masked mutant hides the building using an invisibility cloak. Eventually Skipper returns to the building again with a new found friend named libby. Although he sees nothing he approaches the area where he had first seen the lair, at which point the building becomes visible after he passes through the cloak. Skipper alongside his friend libby decide to enter. From here Skipper meets the protagonist in his comic who is attempting to defeat the masked mutant. Upon entering the building the Gazelle tells Skipper that he has been hit by a beam that actually turned him into a comic, this isn't really taken into account until later in the story.The main protagonist, the “Galloping Gazelle” is eventually defeated and decides to flee leaving Skipper alone with the masked mutant. It should be known that the main power of the Masked Mutant is the ability to shapeshift into absolutely anything.Through wits skipper convinces the masked mutant to morph into sulphuric acid, knowing that when he morphs into a liquid he can no longer return to human form. Having done this Skipper defeats the super villain and returns home. Once home Skipper is overjoyed at his triumph and decides to cut a piece of cake, when he cuts the cake he accidentally slices open his finger. Instead of blood ink dye is released from his skin at which point the book cuts out. The ending of the book leads you to believe that although he has defeated the Masked Mutant, he is now forever a comic book character. As for a central message or theme, I really don't think there was much of one. The book seems to be a fictitious series of events with no real lesson to be learned. I would rate this book 3 and ½ stars out of five. I really enjoyed reading this GooseBumps book, and definitely enjoyed it more than “Deep Trouble”, but the lack of a central message and very open ended story were two lacking points. Nonetheless I would definitely recommend this book for grade school children. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
