PreS-Gr 1—Jinx and her little brother, the Doom, let their imaginations run wild as they unite to fight crime and injustice. The siblings used to fight each other, but now they have learned that cooperation makes imaginative play and saving the world a lot more fun. A stuffed animal's shadow, block towers, and chalk drawings become evil to be defeated. A dirty dog in need of a bath becomes a mission to be conquered. Jinx is a bespectacled, pigtailed girl in a dress, boots, and a cape. The Doom sports a mop of blond hair and a black mask with his cape. The expressive and engaging illustrations are a combination of drawing, cut paper, and digital coloring.
VERDICT A high-energy read-aloud for any young fans of superheroes, sibling dynamics, and a fun take on cooperation.
