Star Chapter Books are the perfect bridge for kids moving beyond beginning readers but not yet ready for longer chapter books. With short chapters, bold two-color illustrations, and fast-paced, funny stories, these confidence-building books make reading fun and rewarding.
In this laugh-out-loud superhero spoof, four roommates with very different powers must stop a villain from painting the city an awful shade of pink that will make everyone in town sick! Abby Astro, Blix Blaster, Captain Kooky Pants, and Wanda Weather are superheroes, but they are also human. Three of them stayed up late watching their favorite TV show. When they wake up the next day, the city is in danger! Their former roommate, Nina Neon, is turning everything a nauseating shade of Projectile Pink! Can the super roomies rally--and stay awake long enough--to stop her? Each Star Chapter Book is 112 pages long, divided into six to eight short chapters with illustrated panels on every page to keep kids engaged from start to finish. This highly visual early chapter book format supports the transition from leveled readers to chapter books, making Star Chapter Books a perfect fit for independent reading, classroom libraries, or shared story time.
