ReviewsCapstone Press put out an entertaining book that makes learning about the science behind vehicles (especially the super ones like Batman uses) fun.nBoys should love this one! Recommended.-- "Brain Power Boy" I can just imagine how popular these books will be, particularly with boys. I really liked the way the book compared Batman technology with real-life facts and photos. . . .I will be purchasing the series for our library!-- "Reading Power Gear blog"
