Reviews

"Underlying themes of self-love, friendship, and acceptance, and the responsible use of great power, make this superhero-adjacent series opener ideal for readers seeking an upbeat blend of magic and character growth." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"With the humor of Meggie Ramm's Batcat and the layered hero's journey of Ben Hatke's Things in the Basement, this is a true hero of a tale." -School Library Journal, starred review

"The story zigzags between characters and mini-challenges, providing thrills even as Brian's quest and Avery's fate seem dire. Gentle throughlines emphasize the value of devoted friendship and the joy of understanding oneself through storytelling." -Kirkus

"Roman's art style is fluid and lovable...middle grade fans of The Kao's Magical Boy graphic novels and the upbeat, equine weirdness of Centaurworld should hoof it over to this title immediately. " --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
