Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Giant Killer
John McNally Β· 2017
80/100
π Worth It
John McNally sticks the landing on a series that has always punched above its weight by combining genuine science content with breathless middle-grade pacing and actual humor. Fighting a villain from inside his own body is the kind of premise that sounds ridiculous and then turns out to be completely gripping when executed well β and reviewers confirmed it is. Series readers who have followed Finn Drake this far will find this a thoroughly satisfying conclusion.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
