Why read it?

2 authors picked Link + Hud as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I fell in love with these two brothers, Link and Hud, but I couldn’t help asking myself what I would do if I were one of their long line of failed babysitters. Their energy and hi-jinks would challenge anyone. At the same time those same characteristics make Link and Hud loveable and memorable. Never underestimate the creativity and intelligence of a child.

I hope all kids will embrace their imaginations and childhood years to have grand adventures. I loved the mix of comic book storytelling inserted within passages of text. 

My kid is at that in-between age where he is too old for board books and many picture books but too young for longer chapter books with no pictures, so this graphic novel/comic book was the perfect holdover.

When I ask him why he loves it, he says it’s because it’s funny how these two brothers are always pretending to be superheroes.
