Mascot to the Rescue by Peter David is about a boy named Josh who is in the 6th grade. No one else knows, but he has a secret. In the Captain Major comic books, there is a sidekick called Mascot. Whatever happens to Mascot happens or has happened to Josh. For example, Mascot’s father left him, and 2 months before, Josh’s father had left. When he finds out that Mascot is going to be killed off the comic, Josh knows he has to do something. So he sets off on a quest to save Mascot and himself from their dooms.

This book was pretty good, though boys would probably like it more than girls. It had a good amount of action. It also had some surprising turns.

This book is on a 5th-7th grade reading level.
