Star Chapter Books are the perfect bridge for kids moving beyond beginning readers but not yet ready for longer chapter books. With short chapters, bold two-color illustrations, and fast-paced, funny stories, these confidence-building books make reading fun and rewarding.

Two starred reviews!

In this "goofy...energetic" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) slime-filled superhero spoof, four roommates with very different powers must stop the evil Dr. Slimepeople from turning the city's lake into goo!

Abby Astro, Blix Blaster, Captain Kooky Pants, and Wanda Weather don't always see eye to eye--in fact, they rarely do. But when slime starts rising and the city is in danger, these unlikely heroes must put aside their squabbles and learn to work as a team to save the day.

Each Star Chapter Book is 112 pages long, divided into six to eight short chapters with illustrated panels on every page to keep kids engaged from start to finish. This highly visual early chapter book format supports the transition from leveled readers to chapter books, making Star Chapter Books a perfect fit for independent reading, classroom libraries, or shared story time.

Look for more Star Chapter Books adventures to help kids grow confident and discover the joy of reading, including Sherlock Roach and the Case of the Crunchy Crumb!
