Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Kelli Harper

Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am honestly torn on this review. While growing up my brother and I had a very competitive childhood, never did we faulter in our ability to grow together and learn new things from each other. This story however seems to pit the two kids against each other all the time. Carl always trying to build the bigger, better castle and Mira bound and determined to destroy each one. This is really encouraging destructive behavior and when there is no correction from adults makes the kids think it is okay to behave in this manner. I had my teenager read this book as well and she and I both agree that the ending was really cut short as well. Just like flipping a switch now the kids are eager to spend time together? Why so Mira can torment her brother somemore? It just really is not my favorite and I probably will never share with the younger kids in the family when even my teenager says this book isn’t okay. Yes kids have sibling rivalries but honestly for there to be no correction from parents it just is not okay.
