(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Eric Powell. Quiet, unassuming Billy discovers an underworld brimming with monsters awaiting the return of their superhero savior, Owlboy. The first book describes Owlboy's origins and Billy's initiation into his new role. In the second, Billy battles his bratty neighbor, whose personality makes her a formidable foe underground. Both books suffer from Billy's belabored introspection, but he's a likable unlikely hero. Review covers these titles: Billy Hooten, Owlboy and Billy Hooten, Owlboy: The Girl with the Destructo Touch.
