Paperboy 2: Overwhelming Odds by Oman Jeremiah Illustrated by Bernie Rollins Morton Books, Inc., January 2005 $12.99, ISBN 1-929-18810-2
Ages 10 and up This is a thrilling, actionpacked novel about living a double life: one as a young schoolboy known as Michael, the other as the elusive Paperboy, who defends his school from the L.O.E.P (League of Evil People). After the previous book, Paperboy, Michael has to face more obstacles, old and new, each one dangerous and difficult. Luckily, he meets two other kids in his school (James and Nina) who have powers like his. They become good friends and help him take on his enemies.
Jeremiah's writing is fine, but sometimes it gets slightly repetitive. I like his dialogue and his ideas are very creative. I also really like the fact that he's a kid, like me. It's cool that he wrote a book. And I would recommend this book to others because it is exciting. In fact, I was disappointed when I was finished reading it. So I hope the third one comes out soon. On of scale from one to 10, I give Paperboy 2 a nine.
