This fourth installment in the hilarious and highly illustrated full-color Superpower Field Guide series features Olenka, an ordinary eel. Olenka may be slimy, wiggly, and the color of mud, but never, ever underestimate an eel.

Meet Olenka, an ordinary eel. Did I hear you say, "But aren't eels just long slippery slimy fishy-things that . . . hmm . . . . Is there anything else to know about eels?" You bet your buttons there is!

Sit back and hold on tight, because Olenka is going to amaze you with superpowers such as double invisibility and shape-shifting, and the super secret Lair of the Abyss (that means a top-secret deep-sea hideout). In fact, Olenka's life is so impossibly extraordinary, it has baffled the smartest scientists in the world for thousands of years.

"Impossible!" you say. I say, "you don't know eels." But you will.

      Gr 2-5-Beavers, moles, and ostriches may all be admirable and humble animals, but, as the latest installment of Poliquin's series proves, eels take the superhero mantle to another level. The book discusses 10 distinct superpowers and provides a glossary, further reading, resources, and a few silly asides in the form of quizzes and callouts. The text is packed with genuinely fascinating and almost unbelievable information, making it easy for readers to fall in love with the featured eel, Olenka. As with previous installments, there is no table of contents and some of the vocabulary might be a bit tricky for the target audience. The illustrations include a bounty of maps and informative visuals. Ultimately, this book is engaging, knowledgable, and worthy of a reader's attention. VERDICT A solid addition to the series, this latest field guide will win over fans. Recommended as a general purchase for school and public libraries.-Taylor Worley, Springfield P.L., OR
