"A fun, flighty caper. Slyly sprinkled with borrowings from superhero tales and packed with kid-pleasing yucks, this copiously and comically illustrated tale is sufficiently full of baloney to fly." --Publishers Weekly
"Trine's fast-paced, humorous new series will capture the hearts of bright new readers." --Jody Fickes Shapiro, Adventures for Kids, Ventura, CA, Booksense
"Trine and Montijo have given readers an appealing superhero and his trusty assistant. These delightfully entertaining adventure stories are a must-have for most libraries." --School Library Journal
