    I have added not only my review but the AI review. Yes, that is correct. I went the lazy route and decided to see what reviewing Ronaldo: Donny's Superpower would look like the AI route. So first is the AI review. then my review.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    “Ronaldo: Donny’s Superpower” is a delightful read that will surely captivate the hearts of young readers. The story revolves around Ronaldo and his friend Donny, who dreams of flying. The author beautifully portrays their friendship and determination, making it a heartwarming tale of perseverance and camaraderie.
    The narrative is engaging, filled with exciting twists and turns that keep the readers hooked till the end. The author’s vivid descriptions bring the characters to life, making the readers feel as if they are part of Ronaldo and Donny’s adventures.
    What stands out in the book is the underlying message of never giving up on one’s dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. This is depicted through Donny’s relentless pursuit to learn to fly.
    Overall, “Ronaldo: Donny’s Superpower” is a charming book that not only entertains but also imparts valuable life lessons. It’s a must-read for children and adults alike, reminding us all about the power of friendship and the magic of believing in our dreams. A solid 4.5 out of 5 stars!

    My review:

    I have read almost all the books in this series. I have enjoyed them all. I did get this book for free. I think the AI version missed a key point.
    ( What stands out in the book is the underlying message of never giving up on one’s dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. This is depicted through Donny’s relentless pursuit to learn to fly.)

    I am not sure that never giving up on your dreams is the underlying message. Maybe it's never giving up on your friends. The story is more a Ronaldo story than a Donnie story. So much for me not having to read the book before I can review the book. However, this is not a review of AI's ability to review books, is it? It's about Ronaldo: Donny’s Superpower. So, AI got one thing right it's a really good book.

    “Everyone has a superpower,” Ronaldo is told. “Your superpower is what you are passionate about and what fills you with joy.” For him, what could be better than being top cadet at the Reindeer Flying Academy. But when a flying mishap lays him up with a sprained ankle Ronaldo turns his energies into being a tutor to Donny, a clumsy not-so-bright remedial flyer who has a secret desire.
    With humor and w/o malice, Sylvester amplifies Donny’s shortcomings as the other cadets poke fun at him and his mishaps. But Donny has a trait that warms Ronaldo’s heart: his gentle kindness and positive attitude. He encourages Donny’s attempts to fly but knows there is not much he can do because Donny has an unexplained fear that he cannot overcome. One day Ronaldo discovers Donny engaged in his secret passion - his superpower - one that he doubts his family will accept. Impressed by Donny’s talent, Ronaldo is instrumental in helping his friend reveal his true passion, one that enriches the lives of all his family and friends - and the world.
    Sylvester’s Ronaldo story goes beyond just fun and entertainment. It focuses on aspirations, never giving up, trust and friendship, mentorship, approval and disappointments, success and failure. Her illustrations are lively, the characters with their bulbous snouts are comically and endearingly iconic. Seven-year- olds might not be thinking about their passions just yet but this story plants the seeds. The entire Ronaldo series deserves a place in the annals of acclaimed children’s literature.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story on friendship and finding your super powers
    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023

    In the past, I enjoyed all the books in the Ronaldo series by Maxine Sylvester. So when I heard she had written a new one, I hurried to get it and read it. And what a joy it was to keep in hand! 'Donny's Superpower' is a fantastic read!

    The author has an exciting pen. The story runs like a real page-turner. Will Ronaldo succeed in teaching his friend to fly well? Slowly, you get a glance at Donny's world. Why does he want to learn to fly? But is this what he dreams of?

    As a true friend, Ronaldo doesn't give up on Donny.
    But when he understands what is the special gift and the dream of his friend, he finds ways to support him. I can't tell you what this is because I don't want to reveal the story. That you have to read for yourself.

    But what I can tell you is this is another beautiful, heartwarming book on friendship. Everybody has a superpower, something she or he is very good at, and it is so important to find out what makes you happy.
    on top of that, kids learn it is also very rewarding to help others to find their super talent.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A really fun book about finding your superpower
    Reviewed in the Netherlands on September 28, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    In this one we learn all about superpowers. Oh no, not like in the superheroes one, but the one power that you can do good and that sparks you joy! For instance for Ronaldo that means flying, but for his grandmother it is dancing. Everyone has one and I loved the message in this one on finding it and be happy. 

    Because we meet a new character, Donny, a gangly reindeer who has been trying for years now to graduate from the flying school but it is just not working out. I felt for Donny, and well, also for the others in the flying school (with the exception of the bullies, they deserve to be a cushion when one falls out of the sky). I was wondering why he was so dedicated to flying when we could clearly see that he wasn't that good at it and seemed more afraid of it rather than having fun. As the story progresses and Ronaldo tries to coach him, we get more and more glimpses of what makes Donny happy and also why he is trying to still stick to flying. My heart broke for him and I was curious how the author would get everything tied up neatly so that Donny would also get his happy ending. I was definitely rooting for Donny, but also for Ronaldo as he tried everything to help out Donny. From talking to Donny's mom, to that party and all that followed, to another plan! Ronaldo definitely doesn't give up and I admire him for that. 

    I also loved reading about the flying (this time on sand + some other fun challenges), about Ronaldo and his grandma going to the big city and him discovering that art galleries aren't always boring, I loved the friendship between Rudi and Ronaldo, we read some more about the reindeers, and see dad do both good and bad haircuts (poor mom though), I loved how the instructor at the flying school kept trying to help out Donny, and boy, those Rescue Reindeers are cool. And I also loved the positive message. It made me think of my own superpower, though I hope that I am allowed more than one? 😆

    The ending was very nice, I loved that we got an extra chapter/epilogue detailing an event a few months later. It made me smile!

    There were a few moments that were a bit coincidental but I can forgive that, I didn't mind it that much, but it just stood out a bit, haha. 

    The bullying and the fact that no authority figure seems to do anything about it was just the only thing I wasn't a fan off. I would have rather seen them getting in trouble for it/getting punishment. But for now they seem to get away with it. 

    The illustrations were tons of fun again! 

    All in all, a very fun book with a positive message and tons of great moments. I would recommend this one and also the other books in the series (though I still got a few left to read).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and entertaining with a powerful message
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2023

    Although this book is aimed at children who are 40 years younger than me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's great fun to read and there are some fantastic illustrations throughout that bring the story to life. I haven't read all of the Ronaldo books so you can pick up any one of them and enjoy them on their own.

    Ronaldo is unable to fly after injuring himself so he puts his recovery time to good use by agreeing to tutor another reindeer, Donny. The only problem is, Donny is a terrible flyer but he is determined to follow in his father's hoofsteps and make his mother proud...even if it means that he is dreadfully unhappy.

    Oh poor Donny! My heart really went out to him as he put his own feelings (and dreams) to one side in order to make his mother happy. Ronaldo is lucky to be doing something that he loves and he's good at so he just wants the same for his friend; he just needs to find Donny's superpower.

    Ronaldo: Donny's Superpower is a fun and entertaining read for adults and children alike, and there's a powerful message in this wonderful book: we all have our own superpower so be true to yourself and do what makes YOU happy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy this book as a gift, remember to hand it over!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    What I love about Ronaldo is his “behind the scenes” comments on Santa’s “real” reindeer team and that he has a family who behave like humans – almost!

    Obviously, a reindeer competing with thousands of others to be good enough to join Santa’s elite must be a superb flyer and disaster strikes. Ronaldo sprains his ankle. Enter fatherless, friendless, Donny who’s in desperate need of a flying tutor.

    Children are guaranteed to love this book – both for the entertaining, often amusing, story and the illustrations. For parents, grandparents… anyone looking for gifts for the youngsters in their lives, there is a subtle message they will appreciate. Kindness is clever and spite demeans those who criticise others.
