Such a charming and delightful story that has an important message at the heart of it: you’re not different or strange, you’re a SUPERHERO!
Logan Foster will take you on an adventure full of laughs, action, heroes and villains, and the imperfect but perfect love between parents and almost teenage kids!
Above all of this, it shows that you belong!
Looking forward to see what Logan and the gang get up to in the sequel!

Add me to the legions who have fallen in love with Logan Foster. Shawn Peters has crafted this novel with such consummate skill that it feels organic and eternal: a great story well told — and featuring delightful, richly-drawn characters.
We enjoy the ride from Logan’s point of view, and it’s a joy from the start, opening with an intriguing premise (which I won’t reveal). Logan’s voice is unique and endearing, and the story is action-packed, laced with seismic surprises and funny asides.
And I do mean funny: The Unforgettable Logan Foster serves up many laugh-out-loud moments that manage to be familiar yet fresh. (One such passage includes a nod to author Annie Jacobs.)
Peters balances the humor with well-earned poignancy. I read this book to see if it might be something my 12-year-old great nephew might like, particularly since he lost his mom to cancer two years ago. I came away believing that he’ll empathize with Logan and may well feel a deep sense of connection thanks to the author’s smart and sensitive handling of the tougher cards that life can deal.
I’m looking forward to the next book in the series and have to wonder when Logan and friends will be on our screens. (Very soon, I hope.)
Highly recommended!

The Unforgettable Logan Foster by Shawn Peters is a middle grade novel that is full of superhero fun! In it, Logan is an orphaned boy with a photographic memory who can't seem to land a family. Foster parents have come and gone, until Margie and Gil take him in. But, Margie and Gil are not your regular ol' foster parents.... There is something super heroic about them.
I listened to this one on audio and I recommend readingit instead. I didn't love the voice in audio, and the physical copy contains the occasional cute, well-drawn black and white picture.
This is a fun book, perfect for the reader looking for fast-paced excitement. And I liked that it clearly ended by indicating that a series is in the works so, for those interested, they can get more Logan Foster fixes.
*Interesting side note: I have read two books in a row now that have a main character named Gil.

Over the top silly. Lazily written plot. Shallow character development. And Logan is annoying.

CAWPILE: 5.86/10 - 3/5
Este libro fue muuuuy entretenido, creo que para el público que esta dirigido es perfecto. Al no ser su público dirigido tuve algunos problemas con la forma en la que esta escrito.
Había frases repetitivas que me llegaron a hartar, el humor igual no fue muy lo mío. Pero los poderes que hay dentro del libro, el sistema político y la acción fue muy buena.
Ya quiero seguir con la saga.
