School for Sidekicks :"Evan's smartass narration, dangerous run-ins with evil Hoods, tough moral quandaries, and a wild range of superpowered heroes and villains make this an excellent choice for any reader awaiting the next Marvel film." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "Disquieting revelations await a fledgling teenager at superhero school . Readers will savor his triumph as well as the melodramatic plot and the cast's rib-tickling array of 'metahumans'." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Evan is a likable protagonist, and the story is infused with equal measures of wit and action. This will appeal to middle grade readers looking for slightly campy superhero stories." - School Library Journal "The author of the Fallen Blade fantasy novels for adults makes a sparkling debut for middle-grade readers in this entertaining, expertly crafted parody of superhero adventures . The superheroes he creates are inspired . Add to that Evan's hilarious narration, a vivid setting of high-tech wonders and page turning suspense, and you have a real summer treat.

" -Jean Westmoore, The Buffalo News "This thoughtful superhero book will appeal to readers who prefer world- and character-building over action. Evan is a compelling character, whose internal wrestling with his parents' rejection of his ambitions, his loss of faith in the cowardly Captain Commanding, and his determination to do good ring true. His interesting world overflows with unusual, humorous, and creative superpowers that go beyond simple strength." - VOYA.
