Reviews:
"This charming story marries the mania for superheroes with a potent anti-bullying message, making it an apt tale for present times."
—Kirkus Reviews
“DiPucchio’s…brevity and directness should make an instant connection with readers. Graegin’s pencil-and-ink pictures seem unassuming and lighthearted…, but when the lunchroom scene unfolds, the images take on surprising and touching drama, creating a powerful moment of truth.”
— Publisher's Weekly
"VERDICT: This wonderful read-aloud is sure to be a crowd-pleaser."
— School Library Journal
