The Stupendous Sonny is a great book which has taught me not to be jealous of others and to be selfless. When Sonny discovers he has powers, he decides to use them for good. I know most people would use them for selfish reasons- this book teaches you otherwise. A great read for 10-12 year olds.
This book is a very interesting book, it includes great characteristics, important messages and much much more.
I think this book shows different perspectives of ‘unique’ people. For example, Sonny- the main character, discovers earlier on in the book that he has super powers. Himself, his best friend Elliot and his aunt Cleo all had divergent ideas on how to use them. He wanted to use them to help people, like when someone was ill or in trouble and so did Elliot at times. On the other hand, Cleo wanted to use it for herself and her ‘loving’ boyfriend. This book tells people that you shouldn’t be jealous of what other people have and not always to think about yourself.
I would recommend this book to children aged 10-12 and to people who enjoy mysteries and adventure.
The author was great at spreading the information throughout the book and not putting everything in the first chapter. I would recommend this book to children aged 10-12 and to people who enjoy mysteries and adventure. I loved this book and that’s why I rated it 5 stars!
