Reviewed by Ana-Maria Leasa for Readers' Favorite

Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom and Janet King is a children’s book in which the authors deal with topics like misunderstandings between siblings and bonding. The main characters of this story are Mira and Carl, who fight each other on every occasion; so much so that their father doesn’t know what to do to stop them and calm them down. When they are in the car, Carl and Mira fight for the seat behind their father. When they play games, they always choose different games. Their preferences in comic books also differ. Carl likes superhero comics, while Mira likes the ones with villains. Therefore, one by one, their arguments continued until a fight broke out. One day, their father brought them to the beach, and while Carl was building castles, Mira would destroy each one of them every time. Is it all just fighting or something more?

One of the aspects that I liked about Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom and Janet King is the attention to detail, body language, and facial mimicry of the characters. When Mira and Carl were at the beach, I could see the pleasure and enjoyment of building castles on the face of Carl and the mischievousness and naughtiness on Mira’s face. I also liked the illustrations, which did a good job of portraying the events in the book. Although by the end, I felt a little annoyed by Mira’s characters, the author did a good job of delivering the desired message.
