Zapato Power: Freddie Ramos Makes a Splash

80 pp. | Whitman | March, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-9485-8 $14.99
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Miguel Benítez. In his fourth book, young Freddie Ramos, whose special sneakers give him super powers, loses then retrieves his magic footwear, stands up to a thief/bully, and learns to swim. The story elements don't fit together seamlessly, but they all add up to a mildly entertaining, small-scale adventure. Black-and-white illustrations (including two spreads of simple cartoon-panel art) support the story's light tone.
