In the far reaches of space, deadly MANHUNTER robots attack a small planet and its people. Luckily, HAL JORDAN, a member of the GREEN LANTERN CORPS is close by!

They want HAL to give up his GREEN RING and join the BLUE LANTERNS . . . or suffer the consequences.

Editorial Reviews

Movie devotees will also be delighted to discover the "DC Super Heroes: Green Lantern" series from Stone Arch Books (Gr 2-6). Featuring fast-paced plots, straightforward language, and vibrant comic-book style artwork, these easy chapter books will appeal to newly confident readers as well as reluctant readers. Guardian of Earth recounts Hal Jordan's origin story in detail, while The Last Super Hero describes the training of the "Green Recruit" on the planet Oa, exercises that are interrupted when the teammates must fight an evil enemy. This human hero, sometimes aided by other ring-wearing allies, takes on an array of foes to repeatedly save the universe in Battle of the Blue Lanterns, Beware Our Power!, High-Tech Terror, and The Light King Strikes! Each of these stand-alone adventures has enough plot twists and kapow to hold readers' interest, without becoming overwhelming in length or complexity. The texts are sprinkled with colorfully presented sound effects and supported with full-page illustrations. Each high-interest volume ends with a two-page profile of a featured character, a glossary of challenging vocabulary, discussion questions, and writing prompts. http://www.slj.com/slj/articlereview/890788-451/watch_and_read_power_rings.html.csp
