About this ebook

Orphaned hero. Urban vigilante.

Dogboy, also known as Bronson Black, is Colta City's 13-year-old guardian in the shadows. After a tragic accident claims his parents, Bronson is thrust into the care of the enigmatic Uncle Randolph. Wielding a blend of magic tricks and an uncanny precognitive ability, he stands against Andrus and the nefarious Guild of Thieves. Along his journey, he allies with Cindy McNeil, an aspiring journalist harboring her own secrets, and Mr. Horum, the enigmatic proprietor of The Old Curiosity Shop. Captured by the guild, Dogboy faces a critical choice: align with his adversaries... or defeat them.

    This is a book targets to a Middle Grade and as I am far from those years I find it difficult to separate myself from whom I am now to a child of that age, so perhaps my appreciation of this work is different than the child who would read it. That being said, the tale is of an adventure for a young mind to grasp onto. As such the characters do not need to flesh out as much as they would for an adults mind, or an adults needs. Our hero, Bronson, is quickly confronted with great tragedy and immediately after finds that he has the superpowers that this genre serves. Yet that great tragedy should serve as a motivator, as a depth that needs to be explored and it is not well served. Whilst we follow the plot of our young hero, we see him add to his experiences and to those he knows and yet somewhat in an unrealistic way we find him meet others who would appear to have powers that will develop along the course of the series. In addition enemies of course abound and these types are presented to us so that we can see the comic book like quality of villains. Along with creating a city that allows for heroes and villains to thrive in. Here we have the classic tropes necessary to provide a mix for the young middle grade reader, and they might thoroughly enjoy the effort. As an adult there are issues of presentation that need to be addressed as Point of View skews on occasion so dramatically that the reader is not prepared for the shift. Should these continue to be overcome, an older reader will find the outing to their liking as always is the case, good will triumph over evil in the end.
