THE UNFORGETTABLE LOGAN FOSTER

Matt Braver splendidly captures a world of superheroes and an endearing orphan named Logan Foster. Listeners accompany Logan as he meets and asks inappropriate questions of his seventh pair of potential adoptive parents, Margie and Gil. Since many superheroes are orphans, kids without parents often believe being a superhero might be their destiny, too. Braver conveys Logan's eidetic (photographic) memory as he learns that Margie and Gil really are superheroes. References to actual comics, movies, and TV shows add a sense of verisimilitude as Gil loses his stutter and penchant for awful puns and warmhearted Margie enjoys becoming "a real mom." Listeners will worry and cheer as the new family confronts supervillains aplenty. Audio enhances this delightful story. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2022]
