What's it about?
There's an ancient wizard named Shazam who has, in the past, bestowed some of his power onto mortals. Three such mortals were Billy Batson, Mary Batson and Freddie Freeman, collectively known as the Marvel family, after their hero names - Captain Marvel. Trials of Shazam continues their story. We have previously reviewed another Marvel family book, First Thunder, but unlike First Thunder this book is for an older audience. It is more sophisticated, both in terms of the plot and the execution of the story.
