LovedLOVED this book. I had expected an entertaining kid-focused superhero story, but it was so much more than that. Mike Jung has added a wonderful twist on the typical superhero theme. His writing is fresh and truly funny, with sweet/touching moments as well. An entertaining and thoroughly satisfying read.

Good story -- very good interaction between boys and girls. A couple of "bad" words -- pissed. Super hero theme good. I think especially 4th, 5th graders will like -- I'm not sure about early third. good themes about parents, divorce etc.

A great, fun ride that does some playful stuff with superhero-ing. Polly and Vincent make for the most interesting duo of the cast. I love the complex use of Vincent's mom and dad (especially since the plot doesn't involve any silly twists -- I won't say more to avoid spoilers.)

I'm curious to see if Jung explores this world more.

Funny! Sweet! Action-packed! .... and Feminist! You may have expected the first three adjectives but not the last. But what I loved about this book (no spoiler here) is that Mike has created an authentic shy hero and spunky heroine. Loads of fun, I bet this will become a stupendously popular middle-grade read.

Wow, so nonchalant about aliens and abductions. Tsk, tsk.
Sequel??

A fun quick read filled with heroes and villains and the nerdy kids who help.
