Summary:
The finale of Jack and Benny’s first multi-volume adventure!

My Thoughts:
This is a fun comic book that continues on where the 4th volume left off. Now not having read the 4th volume I did not find it hard to jump into this story at all, but for younger readers it might be better for them to read these stories in order to see the whole picture. This comic book will appeal to younger readers, and probably especially to boys. There is mystery, action, adventure, humor and brothers. My almost 7 year old daughter loved the book when we read it together, the graphics were great at keeping her wanting more and while her reading is not strong enough to read this completely on her own yet she was interested enough to work with me to read it herself.

Overall Rating:   4 / 5 Stars
