Life can be tricky when you are 9
There is family stuff going on
School work to be done
Friendships to navigate
And working out who you are
And what your place is in the world
Being 9 is A LOT
Imagine then being Pizazz
A 9 year old superhero
A 9 year old who heads out on missions
With her superhero family
To fight baddies and save the Earth
That is awesome!
I hear you cry
But Pizazz does not agree
She is a a super reluctant superhero
She finds is REALLY annoying
And sometimes would give anything to be normal
To not have to be a super saver
Sometimes she wishes she could swap from being a goodie
To a better, brighter life
… on the DARK SIDE!
While Pizazz may not always love herself
I adore everything about her
She really is super
In her job as a hero with powers
But she is also super at being a 9 year old girl
And showing other girls
Entering the tween phase of life
That all their worries and their problems
All their big feelings
All the drama and twists and turns
In ordinary life are just that …
Ordinary, normal
This fifth book in the Pizazz series
PIZAZZ VS EVERYONE
Is a coming of age story
A finding out who you are story
A finding the courage to be true to you story
It is about friendship and family
And a dog from Mission Control
It is about dabbling on the dark side
Enjoying it perhaps more than you should
But with gentle guidance from a wise elder
Coming back to the light
These books from Sophy Henn
Are so readable
The design of the books
Grabs readers attention
And the story ducks and dives through
The gloriously illustrated pages
Taking readers with it
Everything adds to the story
To the reading experience of these books
Sophy has a wicked wit
And a hearty sense of humour
This is indeed a super hilarious series
But with serious messages
For and from the heart
Messages about caring for one another
Messages about looking after the planet
Messages about looking after yourself
Messages about finding out who you are
Learning to love who you are
And finding the courage to show the world
I bought the first four books for Bea
For her 8th birthday
And I think though she has enjoyed them
She is too young for some of the subtleties
In these stories
These are true middle grade books
Their comic styling and fabulous array of fonts
Help to tell the nitty gritty of the story
They pull readers into the action
There is something really special about Pizazz
About Sophy Henn
And it beams through every page of these books
With a fizzing glitter storm of energy
Do give them a read if you haven’t already
