SIDELIGHTS
(open new)Antonio Javier Caparo is an illustrator, graphic designer, and children’s book creator. His publisher clients include Disney Hyperion, National Geographic, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Tor, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Penguin Random House. The Cuban-born Caparo made a career for himself in Montreal, where he has won numerous awards for his illustrations.
In Missing on Superstition Mountain, young brothers Simon, Henry, and Jack are curious about the mountain that the adults tell them to stay away from. When their cat, Josie, runs up the mountain, the brothers chase her and find three skulls. They do a little research and bring their smart friend, Delilah, to come look with them. She gets injured but Henry finds a hidden canyon and an odd map. A Kirkus Reviews contributor noted that “Broach reserves plenty of suspicious characters, spooky landscapes and loose ends for the slated sequels, which both boys and girls will savor.”
Treasure on Superstition Mountain is the sequel that brings Simon, Henry, and Jack back to Superstition Mountain. Delilah, now wearing a walking cast, talks with the brothers about what they found on the mountain. They believe they may have uncovered a link to the Lost Dutchman’s Mine myth. They research the history of old settlements in the area at the local library. They sneak back to the mountain when Aunt Kathy is watching them only to discover that something or someone is trying to prevent them from digging any further into the mystery. A Kirkus Reviews contributor stated: “Best enjoyed after the first, this absorbing, old-fashioned adventure will make readers eager for the next installment.”
With The Shark Whisperer, twelve-year-old Tristan joined other young Seasquirts on a trip to a sea park in the Florida Keys. While there, he discovers that he has the ability to talk to sharks. His fellow Seasquirts have similar abilities. When three of the older campers are captured by finners near the Bahamas, the Seasquirts use their abilities to rescue them. A Kirkus Reviews contributor opined that “some may feel that the climactic eco-revenge is carried a bit far, but it’s a splashy startup with a promising premise.”
In Home, Conn is a boy thief-turned-magician who was recently named Magister of Wellmet city. When he and Pip, his small dragon, are accused of selling locus stones of other magicians, he must go undercover on the streets to find out who is responsible for the thefts. A Kirkus Reviews contributor pointed out that “contrivances, filler and laboriously manufactured suspense stall a formerly nimble fantasy series.”
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer Pop-up Book celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the made-for-TV film that was first released in 1964. The summarized plot of the movie is matched with pop-up scenes in the book to recreate scenes featuring Rudolph, the Abominable Snow Monster, toys from the Island of Misfit Toys, and Santa and Mrs. Claus. A Kirkus Reviews contributor labeled it as “a quick recap for younger fans of the perennial stop-motion holiday classic.”
In Rudolph Shines Again, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer loses confidence in himself and, with that, his red-glowing nose. He complains about his situation and runs away. He eventually meets two rabbits and help them find their missing babies. Helping them gave Rudolph the confidence to make his nose glow again, and he returns to the North Pole just in time to help Santa pull his sleigh for Christmas. A Kirkus Reviews contributor lamented that “it’s unfortunate that the text is not of the same quality as the illustrations, design, and high-quality paper.”
Tristan returns in Stingray City along with his Sea Guardians. They rescue a wealthy conservationist and inventor who asks them to track down the missing stingrays in the Caribbean. The Sea Guardians find illegal collectors working incognito and attempt to dismantle their operations. A Kirkus Reviews contributor concluded: “Eco-sleuths triumph again, but it might be just as well to send them to retirement now.”
With If We Were Giants, young Kirra feels guilty for accidentally leading a group of warriors who destroyed her village. Years later she sees that these warriors are planning to take over the community she currently lives in and must relive her trauma and confess what she knows to save them. Booklist contributor John Peters remarked that the book’s “underlying themes and Kirra’s sharply felt recovery from emotional devastation add sturdy props to this thought-provoking outing.”
In Escape to Ponti, fourteen-year-old Bec flees his master to avoid being branded. He travels south across the medieval Italian landscape toward Ponti. He joins a diverse group of travelers and get up to some adventures along the way while avoiding the bounty his master placed on him. A Kirkus Reviews contributor suggested: “Hold on to your tunic and truncheon in this action-filled adventure.”(close new)
“I was born in Santa Clara, a small town in the center of Cuba,” explained comics artist and designer Antonio Javier Caparo to SATA. “At the age of seventeen I moved to Havana to study graphic design and I soon discovered the marvelous world of illustration. In 1998 I moved to Colombia where I devoted myself completely to illustration. I also did some works in animation, another field I’m in love with. I’ve been living in Canada for the last few years where I discovered the seasons, one of the most beautiful things in nature. The seasonal cycle also fertilizes the imagination; you only need a pen and a sketch pad in your backpack.”

Broach, Elise MISSING ON SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN Christy Ottaviano/Henry Holt (Adult Fiction) $15.99 6, 21 ISBN: 978-0-8050-9047-5
This engrossing mystery pits three brothers recently transplanted from Chicago against the rocky caverns of Arizona's Superstition Mountain.
Simon, 11, feisty 6-year-old Jack and narrator Henry, 10, quickly grow curious about the menacing mountain that adults pointedly warn them against climbing. Their first clandestine trek ensues as they chase their roving cat, Josie. The boys feel the mountain's oppressive eeriness and encounter three skulls on a precarious ledge. After some research with library books and a historical-society pamphlet, the three secretly return to the mountain with Delilah, a smart fifth grader who's also new to Superstition. Broach brings her customary skill to this first of a projected series, articulating the boys' personalities, sketching out adults (Mrs. Barker, a medical illustrator, is the most interesting) and adding the evenhanded Delilah. A fall injures Delilah and brings adults to the rescue, but it also permits Henry's discovery of a hidden canyon, an old pair of saddlebags and a strange map. Broach sympathetically explores Henry's voice, allowing the third-person narration to filter his perceptions as a lonely middle child. He loves reading, relishes the big words he learns and worries about not living up to his namesake, the late, roguish Great Uncle Hank.
Broach reserves plenty of suspicious characters, spooky landscapes and loose ends for the slated sequels, which both boys and girls will savor. (author's note) (Mystery. 8-12)

Broach, Elise TREASURE ON SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN Christy Ottaviano/Henry Holt (Children's Fiction) $15.99 2, 5 ISBN: 978-0-8050-7763-6
The Barker brothers (Jack, Henry and Simon, ages 6, 10 and 11) encounter new adventures on Superstition Mountain in this second page turner. The action resumes two weeks after the first tale's events (Missing on Superstition Mountain, 2011). After the boys' friend Delilah, in a walking cast after her canyon fall, rejoins them after their grounding, they pore over the secret artifacts they'd brought down the mountain: a bag of old silver coins and a mysterious map. Among the coins, they discover a gold nugget, which stokes their shared curiosity about the legendary Lost Dutchman's Mine and the colorful locals who once worked it--and those seemingly, mysteriously bent on its rediscovery. The children revisit the local library, explore an old ghost town and puzzle over the scanty but intriguing clues they assemble. When the boys' vivacious, flighty Aunt Kathy arrives to mind them during their parents' anniversary getaway, the foursome mounts another clandestine foray into the foreboding mountain's secret canyon to search for the mine. But someone--or something--seems equally intent on scaring them away. Impulsive young Jack provides believably humorous moments. Combining cliffhanging chapter ends, sinister messages, a creepy librarian, Henry's thoughtful internal monologues and the danger of unsupervised adventures in the Arizona landscape, this is a worthy second in Broach's appealing series. Best enjoyed after the first, this absorbing, old-fashioned adventure will make readers eager for the next installment. (Mystery/adventure. 8-12)

Prager, Ellen THE SHARK WHISPERER Scarletta Press (Children's Fiction) $9.95 5, 1 ISBN: 978-1-938063-44-2
With help from an array of friendly wildlife, a band of summer campers stages a rescue and stymies a ruthless harvester of shark fins in this series opener. Twelve-year-old Tristan joins other newbie Seasquirts invited to a sea park in the Florida Keys and is delighted to discover not only that he can talk to sharks, but his new camp mates are endowed with similarly unusual abilities. These range from porpoiselike echolocation to hagfish-style "mucus deployment skills." These are all quickly put to the test when a trio of older camp teens is captured by a gang of "finners" in the Bahamas. The hastily planned rescue features a massive poop attack from flocks of birds, a bit of lock picking by an intrepid octopus and exhausting treks over land and sea to evade thugs on jet skis. Though sometimes a little too human-sharks talk to Tristan in West Indies accents: "Mon, we no want to eat your bony butt!"-the sea life, along with reefs, bioluminescence and other marine wonders, is generally depicted by Prager, a marine scientist, in accurate, vivid detail. The story's color and energy fade in the wrap-up chapter, which is largely explication, but overall, there's more than enough action and humor to pull readers along. Some may feel that the climactic eco-revenge is carried a bit far, but it's a splashy startup with a promising premise. (maps) (Adventure. 10-12)

Prineas, Sarah HOME Harper/HarperCollins (Children's Fiction) $17.99 9, 16 ISBN: 978-0-06-220957-3
Gutterboy-turned-wizard Conn once again saves his beloved city from magical and other disasters while irritating friends and enemies alike.Showing signs that the well of inspiration may be running dry, Prineas continues or recycles plot elements from previous episodes, brushes contradictions aside and doesn"t even bother to come up with a new villain. Spurred by a string of wizardly thefts and a vague feeling that all is not right in Wellmet, Conn--as has been his practice--mulishly rejects the offered help of his friends and returns to his grubby roots for a solo investigation. While said friends exchange hand-wringing letters of concern (arbitrary parts of which are written in a runic code for readers to decipher), Conn discovers that his old nemesis, Crowe, is back from exile. The evil wizard brings with him magic cages that block some spells but not others, depending on the needs of the plot, and also a scheme to take over the government with a few well-placed bombs. As only Conn is aware, such blasts will actually destroy the whole city by upsetting its uneasily balanced magical underpinnings. Multiple chases, captures, escapes, conveniently overheard conversations and encounters with dragons ensue.Contrivances, filler and laboriously manufactured suspense stall a formerly nimble fantasy series.

Marsoli, Lisa RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER POP-UP BOOK Silver Dolphin (Children's Picture Books) $19.95 11, 1 ISBN: 978-1-62686-197-8
Produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1964 made-for-TV film, this keepsake pairs a summarized plot to pop-up tableaux fashioned from select stills.Beginning with the "reindeer games" in which Rudolph--or, more specifically, his cherrylike schnozz--is unmasked, the six spreads layer cut-out figures of the characters in wintry scenes linked by prosaic but easily digestible narrative overviews: "The friends landed on the Island of Misfit Toys. It was filled with toys that no one wanted because they were different, too." Opening each spread causes the Abominable Snow Monster or some other figure to rear up past the cover edges. That effect is seen at its grandest in the climactic final scene, in which, following Santa's "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" ("It will be an honor, sir"), sleigh and reindeer arc overhead while elves and Mrs. Santa applaud below. For a more developed and physically durable version of the film's plotline, a picture-book edition written by Thea Feldman with similar-looking art by Erwin Madrid is available (2014) as is a new reissue of the original story by Robert L. May with more accomplished illustrations by Antonio Javier Caparo (2014). A quick recap for younger fans of the perennial stop-motion holiday classic. (Pop-up picture book. 3-5)

May, Robert L. RUDOLPH SHINES AGAIN Little Simon/Simon & Schuster (Children's Picture Books) $17.99 9, 22 ISBN: 978-1-4424-7499-4
In this sequel to the original story about the famous reindeer with a glowing red nose, Rudolph loses his special power and then gains it back after helping find two lost bunnies. In the month before Christmas, Rudolph suffers a crisis of confidence and loses the red glow that has made him the leader of Santa's reindeer team. He worries and whines, concentrating on his loss, finally deciding to run away and find a new home in a different country. Deep in a forest at night, he finds a group of distressed rabbits who have lost two of their babies. Rudolph helps them, finding bunnies Donnie and Doris, and in focusing on the troubles of others, he regains his confidence as well as the glow on his nose. He flies home in time for Christmas Eve deliveries, including a special package dropped from Santa's sleigh for his new rabbit friends. Caparo's handsome illustrations in an oversize format are in the same style as his work in the recent edition of the original story, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (2014). The color palette focuses on deep midnight blues with swirls of pink sparkles around Santa and the reindeer symbolizing their magical powers. The long, rhyming text, however, is dated in tone and has a grating, singsong quality and some rhymes that fall flat. It's unfortunate that the text is not of the same quality as the illustrations, design, and high-quality paper. Those who appreciated Caparo's illustrations in the original edition will also like this sequel and will probably overlook the unsuccessful story. (Picture book. 3-7)

Prager, Ellen STINGRAY CITY Mighty Media (Children's Fiction) $9.95 5, 3 ISBN: 978-1-938063-70-1
When the stingray population at a famed Grand Cayman attraction plummets mysteriously, it's time to call in the Sea Guardians. Once again, 13-year-old Tristan and his fellow campers do a terrible job of keeping their drug-enhanced abilities to talk to sea life and other watery feats secret (The Shark Rider, 2015, etc.). This time it works out, as the diver they rescue in Monterey Bay turns out to be Leo Ozdale, a wealthy conservationist and inventor who later summons them to the Caribbean to track down the missing rays. Following clues gathered from the remaining rays (in dialect, continuing the series' questionable use thereof: "Ya, mon"; "Whoa, bobo!"), the Guardians ultimately zero in on illegal collectors aboard a secretly modified cargo ship crewed (why be subtle?) by smelly toughs with bad teeth led by a bullwhip-cracking "queen of mean." Captures, escapes, and undersea heroics ensue. The caper is a slapped-together affair made up of set pieces with sudden transitions (sometimes monthslong), a mostly white cast of teens (there is one Latina), and an anticlimactic nab that takes place offstage. It does provide bits of comedy, drama, and budding romance, though, amid the discussions of issues related to keeping captive animals, as well as a series of vividly described encounters with marine wonders. Illustrations not seen. Eco-sleuths triumph again, but it might be just as well to send them to retirement now. (afterword) (Adventure. 10-12)

If We Were Giants. By Dave Matthews and Clete Barrett Smith. Illus. by Antonio Javier Caparo. Mar. 2020.304p. Disney/Hyperion, $16.99 (9781484778715). Gr. 5-7.
Rock musician Matthews collaborates on an alt-world tale featuring a storyteller's child who wrestles with PTSD to save a settlement of tree dwellers from the brutish invaders who destroyed her own village. Having inadvertently led armored, rapacious, distinctly conquistador-like "Takers" to her peaceful hidden community and seen it ravaged, Kirra half-willingly falls into a rain-swollen river. Four years later, she lives among her arboreal rescuers downstream, still nursing her guilt, until the sight of a Taker hunting party throws her into crisis: Should she flee or stay to convince the Tree Folk of their danger by revealing her own story? The authors highlight the profound importance of storytelling throughout, and by telling hers, Kirra is not only able to rally the Tree Folk in time but also transforms their standoffish culture to a nurturing, cooperative one. Stripped of all reference to death, wounds, or even blood, the climactic battle has a sketchy feel, but overall, both the underlying themes and Kirra's sharply felt recovery from emotional devastation add sturdy props to this thought-provoking outing.--John Peters

Caparo, Antonio Javier ESCAPE TO PONTI Red Deer Press (Children's None) $14.95 3, 30 ISBN: 9780889957237
A boy in medieval Italy flees his cruel master and strikes out for freedom.
Faced with being publicly branded by Malaspina, his bad-tempered master, 14-year-old Bec musters his wits, strength, and agility for a daring escape to the forest, planning to make his way south to Ponti. Bec, whose mother has died and whose father is unknown, counts horses and dogs as his best companions and is prepared to make the perilous journey alone. But a chance encounter with a black-haired boy wearing a gold earring results in the two renegades deciding to travel together. Tien Nu, whose Chinese father came from Samarkand and whose mother came from "Alessandria" in "Africa," is an entertainer who juggles and tumbles--and he carries a heavy secret. Tien Nu teaches Bec some tricks of his trade as they get lost in mysterious tunnels, perform acrobatics and illusions at a wedding, and stay just a few steps ahead of Malaspina, who's placed a bounty on Bec's head. Short chapters keep the story moving, with narrow escapes, a dead body, and several bloody battles along the way, while family mysteries are untangled more gently. The characters speak in a casual, modern style, which occasionally distracts but overall reads well. Caparo's beautifully detailed graphite pencil and digital illustrations add to the enjoyment.
Hold on to your tunic and truncheon in this action-filled adventure. (map, author interview) (Fiction. 10-14)
