Riley Madison Discovers the Superpower of Time was a joy to read. I had so much fun reading about all of the unintentional mischief Riley gets into; it had me laughing all the way through. Not only is this book fun, but it is also educational because it teaches children how they can improve their time-keeping, which I feel will also be a huge hit with the parents. I loved the little illustrations; my favorite was the one where Bailey wears a monkey costume. June Akers has done an amazing job at keeping the reader interested; the writing is flawless and the plot is highly entertaining. The book is also split into chapters, making it easy for you to pick up where you left off. So if you are looking for a new book to read to or with your child, then look no further. Riley Madison Discovers the Superpower of Time is a perfect choice. Congrats to both June and Riley Akers, the book is great!
