  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 09/01/2016 As a teenager, Tony Stark watched as his father turned his own peaceful invention into a weapon, forever changing the direction of Tony’s life. Now, as Iron Man, he embarks on an adventure in Ireland, where he attempts to interrupt an attack on an ecology conference. Along the way, Tony’s A.I. assistant transforms into a real-life girl, Saiorse Tory, who complicates things with her own mission to rescue her sister from a Cape Verdi orphanage. The plot thickens as the man Saiorse hires to help her turns out to be the villain Mandarin, Iron Man’s target. Both Mandarin and Stark utilize futuristic, fantastic weapons as they fight—one for evil, one for justice. The battles are descriptive, and suspense rises as readers wonder if Iron Man can succeed. Without his suit, does Tony have the energy to throw one more punch? Colfer, author of the popular Artemis Fowl series, has created a high-octane Iron Man adventure sure to be a hit with superhero fanatics. - Copyright 2016 Booklist. Loading...
