    About this ebook

    Josh Miller, sixth grader at Demarest Elementary School, has a secret. Everything that happens to Mascot, the superhero sidekick in the Captain Major comic books, also happens to Josh. So when Josh finds out that Mascot is slated to die in the next Captain Major adventure, he knows he has to do something—and fast! A budding comics artist and writer himself, Josh and his new friend, Kelsey (aka Large Lass), take off to find Stan Kirby, the creator of the Captain Major series, so they can save Mascot—and Josh's life.

    Comic-book legend Peter David teams up with the renowned comics artist Colleen Doran in their first book for young readers.

      My Review of Mascot to the Rescue! By Peter DavidAt Demarest Elementary School, Kelsey Markus, new to sixth grade, meets Josh Miller in a rather amazing way. She doesn’t know at first that Josh has a secret but it doesn’t take her long to suspect something! Comic book hero Captain Major’s sidekick, Mascot, is really Josh Miller, or so Josh thinks. But what else would one think when everything that happens to Captain Major’s sidekick Mascot, begins to happen to Josh? Kelsey doesn’t think her new school experience will be much different from her last school as she is a bit overweight and often teased about it, and yet on her first day, she is defended by Mascot--Josh! When some boys begin to pick on her on the playground, Mascot jumps down from a tree to rescue her. A squabble begins and suddenly the coach appears and hauls Josh off to the principal, Mrs. Farber, or Misstermind as she is known to Mascot!Kelsey and Josh become friends and although Kelsey finds the Magic Marker drawn masked Mascot interesting, she tells Josh she is more interested in the secret identities of superheroes. But, Kelsey is kind and listens like a good friend when Josh reveals his secret to her about how everything that happens to Mascot in the comic books with Captain Major, happens to him. However, when the readers of this popular comic take an online survey and decide that Mascot should die in the upcoming issue to be released, Josh realizes he must save Mascot, and himself!Josh and Kelsey, or Large Lass which is now Kelsey’s alter-ego, set out to find Stan Kirby who is the creator of Captain Major so that they can get him to change the outcome in the next edition before it is printed and something happens to Josh. The story draws from reality with the teachers, police, single parents, and even social services workers and blends them with the comic book characters as the story comes to a fun and frantic climax as the two parts, fact and fiction, meet!The story itself alternates through the narrative from Josh and Kelsey to Mascot and Large Lass. The reader has to accept the story for what it is, a bit of magic mixed with the real story and then will find it a satisfying read. Recommended for ages 9-11 and especially for comic book fans. The drawings give the book the real comic book feel and will be enticing to young readers of this genre.Submitted by Karen Haney, August, 2008
