In his second story, superhero kid Freddie Ramos--who's faster than a train when he dons his purple sneakers, ready to help his neighbors--embarks on another series of episodic adventures. Large font, first-person text (though it can be stilted) and cartoon action will attract young readers to this Hispanic-themed superhero story.
