"Trine's fast-paced, humorous new series will capture the hearts of bright new readers." --Jody Fickes Shapiro, Adventures for Kids, Ventura, CA, Booksense Children's Picks on Melvin Beederman

"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 on Melvin Beederman
