5.0

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

Evolution Revolution is an adventure perfect for middle graders! It's exciting, funny, and explains some of the simple machines very well.

The characters are entertaining as they have their little banter, and how all of the animals work together using their strengths is educational for the young readers to learn about them and their habitats and lifestyles.

The human character is a disabled boy, and I liked the author built him up and made him smart and friendly, potentially helping the youngsters to not be afraid of kids who are in wheelchairs.

Overall, I was extremely pleased with Evolution Revolution and recommend it middle grade readers or as a good read aloud for families with children under 11 years old.
