"Axel & Beast: Tropical Tangle"
by Adrian C. Bott
Suggested age: 8-11

Grabbem Industries are having a blast on a tropical island – a NUCLEAR blast! Axel and BEAST have to stop Grabbem no matter what. But what if it means splitting up?

BEAST is no ordinary robot, and Axel isn’t your usual gamer – together they’re an unstoppable team, working to fight Grabbem Industries, and anyone else who threatens the planet.

The Axel & Beast books are packed with super-cool tech, a diverse cast, a lightning-fast pace, and word art and energetic illustrations, along with exaggerated, over-the-top situations – and villains – to keep emerging readers glued to the page.

I liked the pictures and the bolded words. They would definitely help keep a younger or struggling reader's attention. This book is definitely aimed more towards boys, but a girl that loves action, technology, or adventure would also be interested. I would recommend this for advanced elementary readers or struggling/reluctant 6th or 7th graders and fans of Transformers. It is the 3rd book in the series, but I had no trouble figuring out what was going on; the author does a good job of giving you the backstory.
