Author: William Boniface
Week:04/12/14
Pages: 1-195
Prompt: What message or lesson was conveyed.


Hello readers todays book that I am writing to talk about is The extraordinary adventure of Ordinary Boy / The Hero Revealed By: William Boniface. This book is an extraordinary book there are so many things that you learn and talk about in this book. Some of them are school related, life related, and even dream related. There are three main things I have learned through out the book. One of them is that its okay to be ordinary. In this book there is this town called Superopolis in Superopolis there is a whole bunch of heroes . Everyone that is born there is born with a certain power. It can be a good power like being able to with stand anything(The Amazing Indestructo - AI) or you can have a really bad superpower like your head being shaped like a Melon (Melon Head). In Superopolis nobody is normal except Ordinary Boy. Ordinary Boy doesn't have any super power but he wishes he did and through out the whole book he learns that being normal is the best super power he could have. In the end ordinary boy finds out its better to have no power and be powerless than to have a power and depend on that and nothing else.

The second thing I learned through out this book is that never give up on your dream. I learned this throughout the book in so many ways. Ordinary boy and his friends had a dream that one day they would have all the superhero cards and that they would save someone once in there life. In this book they are given one clue "rocks". All of Ordinary boys teammates didn't know because most of the people in Superopolis are dumb they never listen in class and have never learned anything part of the fact is that they have superpowers. Ordinary boy is the only one with some kind of knowledge (later in the book you find out he is really smart) so Ordinary boy finds the places and they don't find any till the last one where they have one out of three cards to complete the set. Near the end of the book they get there first mission and that is to stop doctor brain drain (superpower- steal brain power) from covering the town in use to be rare cards.

Lastly the thing I learned is about companies and how they make so much money. In the book there is this guy with a super power to make money. What he does is promote a really cool thing that the kids will be attracted to on everything that is sell able. He tells everyone that there is a limited edition little do the people know is that by limited he means 1 of each or less. He has the only copies in his office. In the book they say that there is a limited amount of doctor brain drain cards(the cards they needed to complete the set). There are actually three till a man named the multiplier make a lot of these cards and sells them. Just to have more money. Overall this book was great it has so much action and adventure, but its more of a kids book.

  1. Great blog Gustavo, the title probably would have discouraged me from reading the book. Who wants to read about some Ordinary Boy?

  2. Nice blog. I like how you describe the book and the messages conveyed by it. I also like how you put in three lessons rather than just one. This blog tells me a lot about your book.
