Summary
Can a wimp like Travis Daventhorpe master the Legendary Sword of Legends and fulfill his cosmic destiny? For fans of Hilo and The Last Kids on Earth comes the second volume of this hilarious fantasy/sci-fi graphic novel series!
Travis Daventhorpe is destined to save the multiverse--at least, that's what the prophecy says. But if he's a legendary warrior in the making, shouldn't he be a little better at sword fighting? With his engineering genius, Travis could develop technology to make himself unstoppable, but the wise sorcerer Bela says he needs to find his power within. Wherever he finds it, he better do it soon! The evil Nol Invictus, the ruler of the mystical realm Solusterra, is preparing a second attack--and this time, his lieutenant, the Rogue, has an army of velociborgs for backup!
From Wes Molebash comes the second volume in this pun-filled, video game-inspired, sci-fi fantasy adventures series. Join Travis Daventhorpe as he dodges bullies, forges friendships, and does his best to survive gym class . . . all while trying to fulfill his magical destiny!

School Library Journal Review
Gr 3--6--Travis Daventhorpe is back after a science fair to remember in this second volume. Belazar, a mage and multiversal mentor, steadfastly believes that Travis is the Hero of Solusterra, but it's a hard sell for a kid who gets knocked from his clothes during gym. Joined by his friend Juniper Reyes and his robot Travbot, Travis must tap into his potential before time runs out and the evil ruler Nol Invictus can carry out his Rogue plan to invade Travis's town and take the Sword of Legends. Molebash takes on weighty topics, including conflicts between science and faith. The writing is fun, with fast-paced dialogue and gaming tropes that will delight. Bright, colorful illustrations will keep readers hooked, with pop culture winks sprinkled throughout. Molebash makes his story accessible to all with likable characters that grow with each story and exciting adventure plots. This second entry can stand on its own but is better enjoyed by those who have read the first book. VERDICT A power-up that keeps the action going while holding just enough back to whet appetites for the next book.--Rosemary Kiladitis
