10 Second Review
From the libraries summary:
"Teens are spending record amounts of money and receiving bigger allowances from their families, but most are clueless about how to handle or save money, responsibly use ATMs, credit cards and checking accounts. This guide can help add it all up so teens can get set for solid financial futures."

Good information but the book may be too dense to appeal to the target audience.

10 Second Review
An investigation into a curious string of museum robberies leads Superman to Captain Marvel's hometown. Lex Luthor and Dr. Sivana also find reason to team up.

Good art with a fairly simple story of the first meeting between Big Blue and the Big Red Cheese.
Strangely, Captain Marvel doesn't seem to show up much in the DC universe even though he is essentially Superman's equal.

This book should have wide appeal for comic fans.
