Ode to a Super Mom
I'm in a family of boys--one 3 and one 33--who are obsessed with super heroes. ALL super heroes old and new. If there is a figure with a cape, magic power, or some hidden ability to be found, my boys will know about it. And share it hours of caped magic power fun. Leaving me to wonder where the hell my power to woo them to eat dinner had gone. And this, my dear readers, is why I need to introduce you Confessions of a Super Mom by Melanie Lynne Hauser.Origins. Incidents. Magical powers. Evil villains. Trusty side-kicks and love interests... the book, well, it's all here. Weaved in and out of a totally out-of-this world little tale that had me giggling to tears last night. And yes, I read it in one night.
Melanie doesn't leave a thing out--and even has a few hidden chuckles thrown in for those of us (whether by choice or not) have been thrown into the world of super heroes. Don't believe me? Start reading, you'd be surprised at who's invited to play along, as well as the homage to the super hero greats.
I fear if I write a thing more, I am going to spoil the fun of the book... really. It is that fun. So without ruining a thing, I'll just point you in the right direction (oh, and you know what? She's got a SEQUEL. In true super hero style. I'm SO right in line to get that one on my shelf):
