The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man

"The depiction of a showdown between Awesome Man and his nemesis--the Flaming Eyeball--is priceless. Readers may notice that there's a moral peeking out from Awesome Man's cape, but they'll still grab this story in their 'ginormous Awesome Power Grip' and not let go." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"Young caped crusaders and Chabon's adult fans alike will grin at this self-consciously witty portrait." -- Publishers Weekly

"Awesome indeed." -- Kirkus Reviews

"It's a wonderful celebration of tough-guy fantasies and down-to-earth boyness, perfectly matched with the retro stylings of animated film artist and comic book illustrator Parker." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"Chabon's first-person narrative is that of a boy-zealous, goofy, and antisister-and the story reads like the play-by-play antics of an action figure in a kid's game." -- ALA Booklist

Praise for SUMMERLAND: "Chabon hits a high-flying home run." -- Publishers Weekly

Praise for SUMMERLAND: "Packed with magic, adventure, myth, and America's favorite pastime, this book will enchant its audience. -- School Library Journal

Praise for THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY: "The depth of Chabon's thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement." -- New York Times Book Review
