Ron DeSantis: "The Maximum Ride series was recently banned by the Martin County Florida School District. Patterson, who lives in Palm Beach County and owns a home in Martin County - asked his followers to "send a polite note" to Gov. Patterson - who had bestsellers eventually made into blockbuster movies such as "Along Came a Spider" and is known for the Alex Cross and Women's Murder Club series - took to Twitter on Monday after learning his "Maximum Ride" young-adult book series was removed from Martin County school library shelves. Books written by Picoult - including "My Sister's Keeper," "Lone Wolf," "House Rules" and "Keeping Faith" - also were removed from high schools after objections that they were romance novels for adults, not children, according to district records.
I wish all six of these books where in one large collection or a boxed set, yet, since Mighty Jack and Zita the Spacegirl is not due out until this fall, you do not want to wait to read the other five books.Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" and "Beloved" had been on high school shelves. Here, each character must relearn who they are in some ways, jealousies must be overcome, and some understandings about what it means to grow up, make mistakes, be a hero and keep trying are formed. When you start the third Jack book, Mighty Jack and Zita the Spacegirl, Zita and some old friends arrive on Earth (well a couple have already been on Earth, after all a scoundrel you might recognize from Zita’s adventures pops up in book one starting this whole mess). They battle goblins and giants, befriend dragons and goblins (at least Lilly does) and even have a few surprises along the way. And Lilly is brash, bold, independent, maybe a bit too headstrong. Maddy is autistic, clever, maybe a bit naïve due to her condition, but a loving and truly magical soul.
Some of which would not mind snacking on Jack and friends!Īs we go along in the first two adventures we see each character growing into his or her role: Jack a typical kid, son, big brother who becomes a leader, warrior and protector. Only, these magic seeds are purchased by trading the family car (not cow) and what grows is not just a beanstalk, but all sorts of creatures and plants. These adventures mirror another story that has a Jack, some magic seeds and a few giants in it. Books One ( Mighty Jack) and Book Two ( Mighty Jack and the Goblin King) set up Jack’s, Maddy, and Lilly’s adventures. The Might Jack series by Ben Hatke starts as a separate, but companion series to the Zita the Spacegirl graphic novels.
