Interpretation Conducive To Books The Accidental Hero (Jack Blank Adventure #1)
All Jack Blank knows is his bleak, dreary life at St. Barnaby’s Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost, an orphanage that sinks further into the swampland of New Jersey with each passing year. His aptitude tests predict that he will spend a long, unhappy career as a toilet brush cleaner. His only chance at escape comes through the comic books donated years ago to the orphanage that he secretly reads in the dark corners of the library. Everything changes one icy gray morning when Jack receives two visitors that alter his life forever. The first is a deadly robot straight out of one of his comic books that tries its best to blow him up. The second is an emissary from a secret country called the Imagine Nation, an astonishing place where all the fantastic and unbelievable things in our world originate — including Jack. Jack soon discovers that he has an amazing ability — one that could make him the savior of the Imagine Nation and the world beyond, or the biggest threat they've ever faced.Rating About Books The Accidental Hero (Jack Blank Adventure #1)

I bought this for my kid while we were on a road trip; we stopped in Oxford, MS and while my husband tromped in the footsteps of Faulkner, my kid and I spent a couple of hours at Square Books. This book was recommended by the staff there as something a kid who loves Harry Potter and Percy Jackson would enjoy. So I bought it and handed it to Cameron; one of the first books I've given him without a pre-read. I guess I was tired. He read it before we pulled into Nashville that afternoon andGreat book for the preteen or young teen. I enjoyed reading it as an adult. We used this book as a summer book club pick for 6th - 8th grade homeschoolers. They LOVED it. The author creates a great imaginary world, uses funny plays on words and builds suspense without being gory or terrifying. I HIGHLY recommend this!
Do you know the Avengers? Have you ever wonder why it takes so many superheroes (including a Norse god) to combat any foe? Because cool superheroes make good comic books. "The Accidental Hero" really is a comic book; it creates characters with superpowers galore and places with visual appeals. It reminds me of the Skylander game populated with characters that possess different powers and moves, and as many dimensions as the screen they inhabit. They have been created to distract the minds of 10
DNF at 17%I refuse to subject myself to any further torture. NO MORE!This is bland and cardboard-like. It's mind-numbing in simplicity. Clarification: there are 1) simple = easy to understand and 2) simple = bland, dull, oversimplified. This here is the later case.This would probably be suitable for a 6.y.o but I don't think a kid that young would appreciate whatever story the author was trying to build here.FINAL VERDICT: AVOID LIKE A PLAGUE Believe you me, there are better books out there.
I read Accidental Hero by Matt Myklusch. The genre of this book is fantasy because the main character has a superpower which makes it fantasy because superpowers aren't real. In this book Jack Blank, the main character, is an orphan at St. Barnabys. He was dropped off there with a note that said Jack. He meets Jazen who is a cyborg who takes him to Imagine Nation. It is there where he discovers he has powers. He must fight the Rüstov to prove he is not one himself. The internal conflict in this
Good reads review The Accidental Hero is a great book for anyone who liked the Harry Potter or the Percy Jackson series would love the Jack Blank Adventures series because basically the base of the story is that Jack Blank who is the main character is an orphan and he doesn't know who he is or where he was born. It is almost the same beginning as harry potter but instead of wizardry it is superpowers and other talents by saying that I am recommending this book to everyone. ------kristofer
If I didn't have to read this for a committee, I would have stopped reading after the first chapter. The premise is interesting, and I like the concept of the book, I just HATED the writing. There was nothing compelling about the main character, he didn't ever really DO anything, just kind of passively floated around. I think this passivity might not bother kids, but it really made it hard me as a reader to be excited about what happens next. Recommend this to kids who are looking for a
